Description

The Install-Script cmdlet acquires a script payload from a repository, verifies that the payload is a valid PowerShell script, and copies the script file to a specified installation location.

This is a proxy cmdlet for the Install-PSResource cmdlet in the Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet. For more information, see Install-PSResource.

Examples

Example 1: Find a script and install it

PS C:\> Find-Script -Repository "Local1" -Name "Required-Script2"

The first command finds the script named Required-Script2 from the Local1 repository and displays the results.

The second command finds the Required-Script2 script, and then uses the pipeline operator to pass it to the Install-Script cmdlet to install it.

The third command uses the Get-Command cmdlet to get Required-Script2, and then displays the results.

The fourth command uses the Get-InstalledScript cmdlet to get Required-Script2 and display the results.

The fifth command gets Required-Script2 and uses the pipeline operator to pass it to the Format-List cmdlet to format the output.

Example 2: Install a script with AllUsers scope

PS C:\> Install-Script -Repository "Local1" -Name "Required-Script3" -Scope "AllUsers"
PS C:\> Get-InstalledScript -Name "Required-Script3"

For non-elevated PowerShell sessions in PowerShellGet versions 2.0.0 and above, Scope is CurrentUser;
