PowerShell Module: Install the Public Preview Version

For each release of Nerdio Manager where there are changes to the REST API, we release a corresponding new version of the Nerdio Manager PowerShell module. When the release goes to Public Preview, we release a version of the module tagged in the PowerShell Gallery as a pre-release version, which is not install by default. For customers who adopt the Public Preview release of Nerdio Manager, and who want to install the corresponding version of the Power Shell module, here are the instructions for each installation method.

Install the PowerShell Module from the PowerShell Gallery

The following steps must be performed to install the PowerShell Module from the Microsoft PowerShell Gallery.

To install the module:

1. Open PowerShell ISE as Administrator.

2. Execute the following command:

   Install-Module -Name NerdioManagerPowerShell -AllowPrerelease

3. When prompted, select Yes to All.
