Module Installation Source/Instructions

Open Cynomus opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Lots of great documentation, but no mention of where to get the modules documented. Wouldn't it make sense to include that info so people search for the module or a cmdlet can find and install it?

I second this. I am trying to figure out how to install the NPS module now and nothing I have tried has worked include manually copying all of the contents and saving the module files in my $env to be imported into PowerShell. I really expected that to work above all the automatic attempts to install but it did not. If anyone can tell me how they installed this I would be very grateful.

I have windows 10 and placed the files in both of those locations and tried to import the module however it tells me it cant find any modules named NPS. I also tried using the normal methods of installing and importing powershell modules but it just tells me it cant find any modules named NPS on or off github.

Yes that is where PS modules install, but where do they come from? MS should include links to download and/or install modules. Simply presenting each cmdlet does is only part of the data needed to use the modules. Yes some are on popular Repos like PSGallery but many are not. In some cases MS only allows you access by installing them with a server role, but no where else for management from a workstation or script server.
