Cannot install psget

Question

I am trying to install psget on windows 10 from powershell in admin mode but I get:

PsGet is installed and ready to use
USAGE:
    PS> import-module PsGet
    PS> install-module PsUrl

    get-help install-module
Or visit http://psget.net
PS C:\Windows\system32>

As suggested below PsGet is actually already installed on windows 10. I have then continued with the next step:

and as can be seen it installs successfully (needs to be done running as administrator). After a restart of the powershell console I still don't get any color highlighting though:

Any ideas?

Btw: the folder C:\Users[my-user]\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules is empty:

Answer 1

Um... psget as in PowerShellGet module that I am almost certain comes on Win 10. I believe your error is even telling you that. Where it says PsGet is installed and ready to use.

Answer 2

Looks like the script at http://psget.net/GetPsGet.ps1 tries to decide where to install by querying for @($env:PSModulePath -split ';') and then limit the search for paths under Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules.

It appears that in your computer, PSModulePath includes twice the folder C:\Users\myuser\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules, which causes an issue with the installation script.

You can do either one of these two options to solve it:

1. Remove one instance of C:\Users\myuser\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules from the PSModulePath variable.
2. Install PsGet manually using the instructions in the official website.
