Installing PowerShell for Power Platform Administrators

PowerShell in this article requires PowerShell version 5.x. This will be updated to use a newer version in the future. To check the version of PowerShell running on your machine, run the following command:

$PSVersionTable.PSVersion

If you have an outdated version, see Upgrading existing Windows PowerShell.

Important

The modules described in this document use .NET Framework. This makes it incompatible with PowerShell 6.0 and later, which use .NET Core.

Requirements

To run the PowerShell cmdlets for app creators, do the following:

1. Run PowerShell as an administrator.

   [!div class="mx-imgBorder"]

2. Import or update the necessary module by using one of the following commands:

   Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell

   Update-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell

   Alternatively, if you don't have admin rights on your computer, you can use the following to use these modules:

   Save-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell -Path
   Import-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell

3. If you are prompted to accept the change to the InstallationPolicy value of the repository, accept [A] Yes to All modules by typing A and pressing Enter for each module.
