Error installing module from Powershell Gallery

Error installing module from Powershell Gallery

avatar
Product: PowerShell Universal
Version: 5.5.2


There are 2 parts here.
First is that the SimplySql module is missing when searching in PSGallery (as SimplySql is the name and apparently not included in the tags), so it would be good if that search box (Platform, Modules, Galleries) also could include module names in the search result

Second, when installing SimplySql module, there is a notification that the installation might take a couple of minutes, but the install never succeeds. Error text:

the latest version 5.6.0. does find it , but i have also seen it fail to install the latest version, on the latest build you can specify a version

what you are trying to do is get the folder into your Repository\Modules folder

you can do this by this command on the PSU server (assuming it has internet connectivity)

Find-PSResource -name SimplySql | Save-PSResource

this will unpack the module into the folder you are currently in (so cd to Repository/Modules)

or copy the folder onto the PSU server from somewhere that has it already installed (im using 2.0.2.70 because i know its stable for me)
