Describe the bug

I get this when following instructions on installing the cli from https://github.com/dotnet/interactive/blob/main/docs/command-line-interface.md:

dotnet tool install --global Microsoft.dotnet-interactive --version 1.0.632301
Skipping NuGet package signature verification.
The settings file in the tool's NuGet package is invalid: Settings file 'DotnetToolSettings.xml' was not found in the package.
Tool 'microsoft.dotnet-interactive' failed to install. Contact the tool author for assistance.

I ran into the same issue. Turns out I was still on .net 8. Upgrading to .net 9 fixed the error.
