PowerShell Package Installer for DevOps Pipelines
In Python installations, a package maanger called pip is used to ensure the required libraries are installed and loaded into the session. WIth PowerShell, it is not quite straightforward. Rather than having to require a deep understanding of just how PowerShell installs modules, we will talk about a PowerShell module that simplifies the install and loading of the required versions of modules that can be used both locally and as part of a build/deploy pipeline.
