The Install-PackageProvider
cmdlet installs matching Package Management providers that are
available in package sources registered with PowerShellGet. By default, this includes modules
available in the Windows PowerShell Gallery with the PackageManagement tag. The
PowerShellGet Package Management provider is used for finding providers in these repositories.
This cmdlet also installs matching Package Management providers that are available using the Package Management bootstrapping application.
This cmdlet also installs matching Package Management providers that are available in the Package Management Azure Blob store. Use the bootstrapper provider to find and install them.
In order to execute the first time, PackageManagement requires an internet connection to download the NuGet package provider. However, if your computer does not have an internet connection and you need to use the NuGet or PowerShellGet provider, you can download them on another computer and copy them to your target computer. Use the following steps to do this:
- Run
Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -RequiredVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force
to install the provider from a computer with an internet connection. - After the install, you can find the provider installed in
$env:ProgramFiles\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies\<ProviderName>\<ProviderVersion>
or$env:LOCALAPPDATA\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies\<ProviderName>\<ProviderVersion>
. - Place the
<ProviderName>
folder, which in this case is the NuGet folder, in the corresponding location on your target computer. If your target computer is a Nano server, you need to runInstall-PackageProvider
from Nano Server to download the correct NuGet binaries. - Restart PowerShell to auto-load the package provider. Alternatively, run
Get-PackageProvider -ListAvailable
to list all the package providers available on the computer. Then useImport-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -RequiredVersion 2.8.5.201
to import the provider to the current Windows PowerShell session.
This command installs the GistProvider package provider from the PowerShell Gallery.
Install-PackageProvider -Name "GistProvider" -Verbose
This example installs a specified version of the NuGet package provider.
The first command finds all versions of the package provider named NuGet. The second command installs a specified version of the NuGet package provider.
Find-PackageProvider -Name "NuGet" -AllVersions
Install-PackageProvider -Name "NuGet" -RequiredVersion "2.8.5.216" -Force
This example uses Find-PackageProvider
and the pipeline to search for the Gist provider and
install it.
Find-PackageProvider -Name "GistProvider" | Install-PackageProvider -Verbose
This command installs a package provider to $env:LOCALAPPDATA\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies
so that only the current user can use it.
Install-PackageProvider -Name GistProvider -Verbose -Scope CurrentUser

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.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
For more information, see the announcement in the PowerShell blog.
