How do I register the PowerShell NuGet repository?

To install Sitecore PowerShell modules, you must register the PowerShell NuGet repository. You only need to register the repository only once.

To register the PowerShell NuGet repository:

  1. Launch PowerShell as an administrator.

  2. In the PowerShell command line, run the following cmdlet:

    RequestResponse
    Register-PSRepository -Name SitecoreGallery -SourceLocation https://nuget.sitecore.com/resources/v2

    Repositories are registered as untrusted by default and you must therefore approve every module that you want to install.

  3. To register your repository as trusted and automatically approve the installation of any module, run the following cmdlet:

    RequestResponse
    Set-PSRepository -Name SitecoreGallery -InstallationPolicy Trusted

How do I install a module?

After you register the repository, you can use it to install modules.

For example, to install the SitecoreInstallFramework module:

  1. Launch PowerShell as an administrator.

  2. In the PowerShell command line, run the following cmdlet:

    RequestResponse
    Install-Module -Name SitecoreInstallFramework -Repository SitecoreGallery

    Modules are installed for all users by default.

    To install the module for the current user only, append -Scope CurrentUser to the previous cmdlet.

How do I update a module?

New versions of the modules are pushed to the same repository. You can then update the module to get the latest version.

For example, to update the SitecoreInstallFramework module:

  1. Launch PowerShell as an administrator.

  2. In the PowerShell command line, run the following cmdlet:

    RequestResponse
    Update-Module SitecoreInstallFramework
