PackageManagement

  • Reference

This topic displays help topics for the Package Management Cmdlets. The cmdlet reference documentation on this site documents the latest version of the module.

Important

As of April 2020, the PowerShell Gallery no longer supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) versions 1.0 and 1.1. If you are not using TLS 1.2 or higher, you will receive an error when trying to access the PowerShell Gallery. Use the following command to ensure you are using TLS 1.2:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

For more information, see the announcement in the PowerShell blog.

Important

The commands contained in the PackageManagement module are different than the commands provided by the NuGet module in the Package Manager Console of Visual Studio. Each module has commands that are not available in the other. Commands with the same name differ in their specific arguments. For more information, see the PowerShell reference documentation for the Package Manager Console of Visual Studio.
