Package Management in PowerShell

 Package Management in PowerShell

PowerShell Package Management is a feature that allows you to search for, download, install, and manage software packages from various sources, including the PowerShell Gallery and external package repositories. With Package Management, you can easily install and manage software packages from the command line. Here's an example:

# Search for available packages in the PowerShell Gallery

Find-Package -ProviderName PowerShellGet -Name PSWindowsUpdate

# Install the PSWindowsUpdate package from the PowerShell Gallery

Install-Package -ProviderName PowerShellGet -Name PSWindowsUpdate

# Uninstall the PSWindowsUpdate package

Uninstall-Package -ProviderName PowerShellGet -Name PSWindowsUpdate

In this example, we use the Find-Package cmdlet to search for available packages in the PowerShell Gallery that match the name PSWindowsUpdate. We then use the Install-Package cmdlet to install the PSWindowsUpdate package from the PowerShell Gallery. Finally, we use the Uninstall-Package cmdlet to uninstall the PSWindowsUpdate package.
