How to Install PowerShell Modules with Visual Studio Code

As a developer, you may have encountered issues installing PowerShell modules on your machine. In this article, we will explore how to overcome these challenges using Visual Studio Code (VS Code), a free code editor from Microsoft.

To begin, it's essential to understand the role of Execution Policies in PowerShell. By default, PowerShell has an execution policy that restricts the installation of modules. To open things up, you can run the following cmdlet: `Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine`. This allows you to install PowerShell modules with less friction.

However, it's possible that your organization may not allow you to make this change. In such cases, you can still download and install PnP.PowerShell, a powerful tool for working with SharePoint.

To get started with VS Code, you'll need to have the editor installed on your machine. You can download it from Microsoft's website, available for Mac, Linux, and Windows platforms.

Once you've installed VS Code, you can start exploring its features. With its extensive collection of extensions, you can customize the editor to suit your needs. PnP.PowerShell is one of my favorite tools in the trade, and I'll be sharing my experience with it in this article.

In conclusion, installing PowerShell modules with Visual Studio Code is a straightforward process that requires minimal setup. By following these steps, you can overcome common challenges and start using your preferred code editor to its full potential.
