SqlServer module installation

Question

hello.
i tryn install SqlServer module by Install-Module SqlServer command.
finally got warning:

Untrusted repository
You are installing the modules from an untrusted repository. If you trust this repository, change its
InstallationPolicy value by running the Set-PSRepository cmdlet. Are you sure you want to install the modules
from 'PSGallery'?

1. can i trust untrusted repository?
2. why MS suggest modules from untrusted sources?

thanks.

Answer 1

Hello,

The Install-Module is based on PowerShellGet which can be used to download and install-module not only from PSGallery that's why when you try to install a new module it will ask you if you trust the repository in this case PSGallery
So yes you can trust this repository
