Nuget error

Have you ever tried to install a module through PowerShell? If yes, then you might have read or faced below error: PackageManagement\Get-PackageProvider : Unable to find package provider ‘NuGet imported yet. Try ‘Get-PackageProvider -ListAvailable’

Solution

To solve this issue, open elevated PowerShell console and run the below command:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

Next install Nuget packageprovider with the below command.

Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet

Finally, run the install module command with the powershell vendor module you’d like to install. In below example, we are installing latest vmware powercli.

Install-Module -Verbose -Name VMware.PowerCLI
