The term 'Install-Module' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

Question

I am following the directions to install poshgit. In doing so I ran:

Install-Module posh-git

Error:

The term \'Install-M

Answer 1

Another GUI based option to fix this error is to download the PackageManagement PowerShell Modules (msi installer) from Microsoft website and install the modules.

Once this is installed you will not get "'Install-Module' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet" error.
