Sucessor of PowerShellGet called PSResourceGet is GA

Hi All,

The sucessor of PoewrShellGet is called PSResourceGet is GA and the Version 1.0.0 has been released a few days ago.

To Install the new Module use the Commands below

Find-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet
Install-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet
Get-InstalledModule Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet

List the Commands of the new Module

Get-Command -Module Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet

Set PSGallery to Trusted

Get-PSResouceRepository
Set-PSResouceRepository -Name PSGallery -Trusted
Get-PSResouceRepository

The Commands for finding Modules in PowerShell Gallery and Installed Modules are quite similar to what i am used to.

The only diffrence is that Installed Modules are searched in “CurrentUser” Scope by default. You have to specify “-Scope AllUsers” to find Installed Modules in that Scope.

#Find Modules in PowerShell Gallery
Find-PSResource Icewolf.Exchange.Mapi

#Check Installed Module
Get-InstalledPSResource Icewolf.Exchange.Mapi -Scope AllUsers
Get-InstalledPSResource Icewolf.Exchange.Mapi

Let’s check how long it takes to install the Microsoft.Graph Modules with Install-PSResource.

WOW - Installed in less than two Minutes. I am impressed!

#Install Microsoft.Graph and Microsoft.Graph.Beta Modules
$start = Get-Date
Install-PSResource Microsoft.Graph -Scope AllUsers
Install-PSResource Microsoft.Graph.Beta -Scope AllUsers
$End = Get-Date
$TimeSpan = New-TimeSpan -Start $start -End $End
$TimeSpan

Let’s uninstall the Microsoft.Graph Modules with Uninstall-PSResource.

WOW WOW WOW - Uninstallation i less than two Seconds? Now i am really impressed!

#Microsoft.Graph and Microsoft.Graph.Beta Modules
$start = Get-Date
Get-InstalledPSResource Microsoft.Graph -Scope AllUsers -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Uninstall-PSResource -Scope AllUsers -SkipDependencyCheck
Get-InstalledPSResource Microsoft.Graph* -Scope AllUsers -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Uninstall-PSResource -Scope AllUsers -SkipDependencyCheck
$End = Get-Date
$TimeSpan = New-TimeSpan -Start $start -End $End
$TimeSpan

Let’s compare that with the Classic Installation with Install-Module

#Install
$Start = Get-Date
Install-Module Microsoft.Graph
Install-Module Microsoft.Graph.Beta -AllowClobber
$End = Get-Date
$TimeSpan = New-TimeSpan -Start $start -End $End
$TimeSpan

Let’s compare that with the Classic Installation with Uninstall-Module

#Uninstall
$start = Get-Date
Get-Module Microsoft.Graph* -ListAvailable | Uninstall-Module -Force
Get-Module Microsoft.Graph -ListAvailable | Uninstall-Module -Force
$End = Get-Date
$TimeSpan = New-TimeSpan -Start $start -End $End
$TimeSpan

Comparsion

Let’s compare PowerShellGet and PSResourceGet.

Classic Time PSResourceGet Time
Install-Module 6:57 Install-PSResource 1:57
Uninstall-Module 9:38 Install-PSResource 0:1

It’s clear that the new Module performs much better. I am really impressed and love the new Module already.
