Install the framework manually
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
To install the module manually we will at first fetch information on where we can actually install the module into. PowerShell provides some default directories, which can however also extended manually.
|
|
|
|
Getting Started
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
To do this, we can run the following command within PowerShell
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
echo $env:PSModulePath
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
***We do recommend to use the Program Files folder (in case it's present) to install the module into, which will make the installation as service easier***
|
|
|
|
To be able to use the module, you will require to have named the folder **exactly** as the .psm1 and .psd1 files inside the repository.
|
|
|
|
Example folder path:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\icinga-powershell-framework
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To validate if the module is installed properly, you can start a **new** PowerShell instance and type the following command
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
Get-Module -ListAvailable -Name icinga-powershell-framework
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you receive an output stating that the module is installed, you are fine to continue.
|
|
|
|
Execution Policies and File Blocking
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
In order to be able to run the module on certain Windows Hosts, it might be required to either update the execution policies and/or unblock the module script files.
|
|
|
|
The prefered way is to simply unblock the script files, allowing them to be executed on the system. This can be done by running a PowerShell instance as **Administrator** and enter the following command (we assume the module is installed at `C:\Program Files\WindowsPowershell\Modules\icinga-powershell-framework`. If not, please modify the command with the correct location)
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Program Files\WindowsPowershell\Modules\icinga-powershell-framework' -Recurse | Unblock-File
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once done, please try again if you are now able to run the module on your host. If you are still not able to run the module and/or its scripts, please have a look at the Microsoft documentation for the [Set-Execution-Policy](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.security/set-executionpolicy?view=powershell-6) Cmdlet to modify the Execution Policy for running PowerShell modules on your host, matching your internal guidelines.
