Requirements

  • Windows PowerShell 3.0 or newer.
  • PowerShell Core.

Module Dependencies

  • PackageManagement module

Get PowerShellGet Module

Please refer to our documentation for the up-to-date version on how to get the PowerShellGet Module.

Get PowerShellGet Source

Steps

cd path/to/PowerShellGet
  • Import the module
Import-Module src/PowerShellGet

Local Development

Visual Studio Code:-

  1. Open VSCode choosing "Run as Administrator"
  2. Select Terminal>Run Task>Install Dependencies
  3. Select Terminal>Run Task>Build and Import Module

for subsequent changes you can just run 'Build and Import Module' or press ctrl + shift + B

Standard PowerShell:-

  1. Open an administrative PowerShell prompt
  2. Run the following commands
Import-Module "$ClonePath\tools\build.psm1"
Install-Dependencies
Install-DevelopmentModule

This will take the published module from ./dist and install it into the powershell module path under the current version of PowerShellGet apending 9999 to the version number.

An explicit or implicit (such as when the test suite is invoked) import of the PowerShell get module will ensure the module version under development gets loaded.

It is therefore easy to see with Get Module that the version under development is loaded, like this:-

alt text

To remove this module and revert to the production PowerShellGallery published version, simply remove the folder from the module path. (if running VSCode select Terminal>Run Task>Remove Development Module).
