How to install DSC resources using PowerShell?
To install the DSC resource using PowerShell, we can use the same command to install modules in PowerShell (Install-Module).
The Find-DscResource command would get all the available DSC resources. To search the specific DSC resource, you can provide the -Name parameter in the Find-DscReource command. For example, we need to search for the FilesAndFolder DSC resource
Find-DSCResource -Name filesandfolders
Output
Name Version ModuleName Repository ---- ------- ---------- ---------- FilesAndFolders 0.3.212 CommonTasks PSGallery
To install this module, we can pipeline the Install-Module command.
Find-DSCResource -Name filesandfolders | Install-Module -Force -Verbose
Once the module is installed, we can use the Get-DSCResource command to check if the module is installed properly.
Get-DscResource -Name FilesAndFolders
Output
To check the properties of the installed module, we can use the below command.
Get-DscResource -Name FilesAndFolders | Select -ExpandProperty Properties
