I have an ASP.NET Core MVC web application. Some packages in NuGet have a dependency on the .NET Framework.

I am a bit confused about dependency on .NET Framework in a .NET Core application, because .NET Core is cross-platform.

What does it mean? Does it mean the .NET Framework should be installed?

You're completely misinterpreting this information.

It just means:

IF your code using Moq is running on .NET Framework >= v4.5

THEN Moq would have dependencies on the two other package listed.

But since you're using .NET Core, the dependencies in the ".NETStandard >= 2.0" section apply to your project.

does it mean that moq is coded in both .NetFramework and .Net Core enviroment so that could support both .NetFramework and .Net Core?
@HamidNoahdi: yes, exactly. The NUget package is available for both the full .NET Framework (v4.5 and newer), and also for any .NET platform that supports .NET Standard (>= 2.0) - which includes all .NET Core versions >= 2.0
