How to get ZipFiles to work (C#) (Error CS0246: The type or namespace 'ZipFile' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?))

I’m trying to get this script to extract a .zip file into a folder.

Here’s the code I have:

string zipToUnpack = "New folder.zip";
        string unpackDirectory = "files2";
        using (ZipFile zip1 = ZipFile.Read(zipToUnpack))
        {
            // here, we extract every entry, but we could extract conditionally
            // based on entry name, size, date, checkbox status, etc.  
            foreach (ZipEntry e in zip1)
            {
                e.Extract(unpackDirectory, ExtractExistingFileAction.OverwriteSilently);
            }
        }

My using references are:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Net;
using System.IO.Compression;

When I try to compile this, I get this error:
code.cs(120,16): error CS0246: The type or namespace name ‘ZipFile’ could not be
found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
code.cs(120,31): error CS0103: The name ‘ZipFile’ does not exist in the current
context

If I have to add a reference or something, PLEASE show me how with code because I don’t know how and I don’t like to use Visual Studio to add references.
