about_spec.module.management SHORT DESCRIPTION Provides advanced functions for installing, importing, checking, and uninstalling PowerShell modules. LONG DESCRIPTION This module streamlines PowerShell module management, offering the following key features: * Get-specModule: - Determines if specified modules are installed. - Optionally filters by version. Supports single names, arrays, and pipeline input. * Install-specModule: - Installs modules from the PowerShell Gallery or other registered repositories. - Manages installation for the current user or system-wide (if administrative permissions are available). - Automates license acceptance. * Import-specModule: - Imports modules and dynamically handles specific version requests. - Intelligently unloads mismatched versions to ensure correct loading. * Uninstall-specModule: - Uninstalls all versions of specified PowerShell modules. - Confirms actions to prevent accidental uninstallations. EXAMPLES See the comment-based help within each function for detailed examples: Get-Help <function-name> -Examples # Installing then importing the modules $modules = @( [pscustomobject]@{moduleName = 'spec.base.utilities'; Version = '1.2.1' } [pscustomobject]@{moduleName = 'spec.azure.tables'; Version = '1.0.5' } ) $modules | get-specmodule | ? { $_.isinstalled -eq $false } | Install-specModule -AcceptLicense $modules | Import-specModule # uninstall all versions of a module "spec.azure.tables","madeup2" | Uninstall-specModule KEYWORDS SEE ALSO |
