Description

This cmdlet combines the functionality of the Save-Module and Save-Script cmdlets from PowerShellGet v2. Save-PSResource downloads a resource from a registered repository to a specific path on the local machine. By default, the resource is saved in the unpacked or installed format. The scripts or modules could be run from the saved location. There is also an option to download the resource in .nupkg format.

Examples

Example 1

Downloads the Az module from the highest priority repository and saves it to the current location.

Save-PSResource -Name Az

Example 2

Downloads the Az module from the PowerShell Gallery and saves it to the current location.

Save-PSResource -Name Az -Repository PSGallery

Example 3

Downloads the Az module from the highest priority repository and saves it in .nupkg format to the current location.

Save-PSResource Az -AsNupkg

Example 4

Downloads the Az module from the highest priority repository and includes the PowerShellGet XML metadata file.

Save-PSResource Az -IncludeXML

Parameters

-AsNupkg

Saves the resource as a .nupkg file.

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	False
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Path

Specifies the path to save the resource to. If no path is provided, the resource is saved in the current directory.

-Repository

Specifies one or more repository names to search. If not specified, search includes all registered repositories, in priority order (highest first), until a repository is found that contains the package. Repositories are sorted by priority then by name. Lower Priority values have a higher precedence.

When searching for resources across multiple repositories, the PSResourceGet cmdlets search the repositories using this sort order. Save-PSResource saves the first matching package from the sorted list of repositories.

The parameter supports the * wildcard character. If you specify multiple repositories, all names must include or omit the wildcard character. You can't specify a mix of names with and without wildcards.

Type:	String[]

Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	True
Accept wildcard characters:	True

Skips the check for resource dependencies. Only found resources are installed. No resources of the found resource are installed.

Type:	SwitchParameter

Type:	String
Position:	Named
Default value:	None
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-TrustRepository

Type:	SwitchParameter
Position:	Named
Default value:	False
Required:	False
Accept pipeline input:	False
Accept wildcard characters:	False

-Version

Specifies the version of the resource to be returned. The value can be an exact version or a version range using the NuGet versioning syntax.

For more information about NuGet version ranges, see Package versioning.

PowerShellGet supports all but the minimum inclusive version listed in the NuGet version range documentation. Using 1.0.0.0 as the version doesn't yield versions 1.0.0.0 and higher (minimum inclusive range). Instead, the value is considered to be the required version. To search for a minimum inclusive range, use [1.0.0.0, ] as the version range.
