I see a packages.config file for each of my projects in a solution. It contains info about various assemblies info. I am expecting that the NuGet will automatically scan these packages.config and download as necessary. But it didn't. Do I need to manually install all the packages?

If you right click the project in question you can select "Manage nuGet Packages" from the menu. After you do that you can click "installed packages" on the left hand side to see the packages that you currently have installed. These are what you are seeing in your "packages.config" file. If you wish to update the packages or reinstall them you can do that through the interface here by clicking "uninstall", then finding them in the list an re-installing them again.
Alternatively you can use the package manager console to do things like updating, installing older versions or all sorts of things with the nuget manager. See here for some details about that. (Information about updating a package is at the bottom of the page).
Best of luck!
