How to use a NuGet package within a PowerShell script?
I was able to install a package in PowerShell 6 (Core) by specifying the source:
PS > install-package gudusoft.gsqlparser -source https://www.nuget.org/api/v2
~5.x versions of PowerShell have a nuget package source included by default but it doesn't work:
PS > Get-PackageSource
Name ProviderName IsTrusted Location
---- ------------ --------- --------
nuget.org NuGet False https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json
PSGallery PowerShellGet False https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/
If you Unregister-PackageSource -Source nuget.org
and Register-PackageSource -Location https://www.nuget.org/api/v2 -name nuget.org -Trusted
I have been able to install nuget papckages with just Install-Package
from PowerShell, not within visual studio. Got the idea from this SO answer.
I don't know what other possible negative impacts there are to removing the v3 version of the nuget.org source but I have been running this way for a while and things appear ok, your mileage may vary.
As an alternative here is an example that gets the job done by pulling down the nuget.exe even if it is a crummy way to have to do this:
function Install-InvokeOracleSQL {
$ModulePath = (Get-Module -ListAvailable InvokeSQL).ModuleBase
Set-Location -Path $ModulePath
if ($PSVersionTable.Platform -ne "Unix") {
$SourceNugetExe = "https://dist.nuget.org/win-x86-commandline/latest/nuget.exe"
$TargetNugetExe = ".\nuget.exe"
Invoke-WebRequest $sourceNugetExe -OutFile $targetNugetExe
.\nuget.exe install Oracle.ManagedDataAccess
Remove-Item -Path $TargetNugetExe
} elseif ($PSVersionTable.Platform -eq "Unix") {
nuget install Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Core -Version 2.12.0-beta2
}
}
