Upgrading PowershellGet to the latest version

This is a small tutorial on how to upgrade PowershellGet to the latest version. The easiest way to upgrade your PowershellGet module is to run the following command:

Find-Module powershellget | Install-Module

After that, check your installed versions:

Get-Module powershellget -ListAvailable
Get-Module packagemanagement -ListAvailable

If you have multiple versions, the best thing todo is to remove the older versions. To remove the older versions, do the following:

  1. Browse to C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\
  2. Go into C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowershellGet folder, and delete the older version folders
  3. Then do the same for C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PackageManagement

Now run the Get-Module commands again and see if the old versions are gone.

Get-Module powershellget -ListAvailable
Get-Module packagemanagement -ListAvailable
