your powershell is v4.0 and you do not have powershellget installed so this is not posh-ssh problem

posh-ssh v3 does not support PSv4.0 but you can try

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/gallery/installing-psget?view=powershell-5.1#for-computers-running-powershell-30-or-powershell-40

You need to be running PowerShell 5.1 or Powershell 7. Powershell 4 is not supported

@darkoperator It's funny, if remove Convert-SSHRegistryToJsonKnownHost и Get-SSHRegistryKnownHost (since they use classes) and lower the requirements for the version of the version to 4.0, it seems work :) at least it connects. just tested it

Never expected.net standard to be that good

.net standard 2.0 for win is just net 4.61+ :) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/net-standard

I need to run a few commands and export them into an excel file in the putty session. In which I need to connect the putty from RDP. so I need to install the posh-ssh module in order to run the script. Do I need to install the PowerShell 5.0?

If your host can be connected by Posh-SSH v2, you can install it manually or thru Save-Module from other computer with PSv5.1

Save-Module -Name Posh-SSH  -MaximumVersion 2.3 -Path d:\

where d:\ - path where module should be saved (D:\Posh-SSH\2.3.0)

or, if host supported only by Posh-SSH v3 (host signature not RSA), You need PS v5.1 or PSv7+

@darkoperator, btw it seems to me that v3 should be published here in Releases
