Home - PoshCode/PoshCode GitHub Wiki

PoshCode's purpose is to make it easier to distribute modules and scripts over the internet or within local and corporate networks. With this new project we are focusing on making it easy to distribute modules without explaining module installation to your users. Additionally, we're supporting the automatic installation of dependencies, so that you can finally distribute modules which have a dependency on other modules without having to worry about how your users will find and install them.

The module has two main commands for users, and a third for module developers:

1. Find-Module (searches various module registries and repositories)
2. Install-Module (installs modules from local packages or .zip files, or from URLs or UNC paths)
3. Compress-Module (create a redistributable module package from a module on your system)

To install the PoshCode module, run one of these two command lines:

    # Install by downloading and executing the installer:
    iwr 'http://PoshCode.org/I' -OutF PC.ps1; .\PC; rm .\PC.ps1

    # Install from WebDAV share (with "WebClient" service running):
    \\PoshCode.org\DavWwwRoot\Modules\Install

The rest of the documentation is on the wiki, broken into several sections:

1. Installing Modules
2. Creating Module Packages
3. Distributing Module Packages
4. Additional Features of PoshCode
