How to download PSAppDeployToolkit
PSAppDeployToolkit is available as a module on the PowerShell Gallery or as a self-contained zip file archive on GitHub, which includes the PSAppDeployToolkit module. Both downloads provide the functions required to scaffold a new deployment.
Installing from the PowerShell Gallery
You can install the PSAppDeployToolkit module from the PowerShell Gallery by running:
Install-Module -Name PSAppDeployToolkit -Scope CurrentUser
Grabbing the archive / zip files from GitHub releases
Alternatively, you can download the release assets:
Here you will see the latest release of PSAppDeployToolkit. Click the Assets dropdown to view the available downloads. You should see the following:
| Filename | Description |
|---|---|
PSAppDeployToolkit.zip | Zip file containing the latest version of the module. At a minimum, you should download this. |
PSAppDeployToolkit_Template_v3.zip | Zip file containing the v3 template. Contains the scaffold for a v3 compatible deployment. |
PSAppDeployToolkit_Template_v4.zip | Zip file containing the v4 template. Contains the scaffold for a v4 native deployment. |
Source code (zip) | Zip file containing the source code. |
Once extracted, you will see a file and folder structure similar to the one described on the next page.
Downloading PSAppDeployToolkit.Tools
PSAppDeployToolkit.Tools is a companion module designed for functions that help you create packages rather than deploy them.
At present, this is in pre-release status, so installing from the PowerShell Gallery requires an additional switch:
Install-Module PSAppDeployToolkit.Tools -Scope CurrentUser -AllowPreRelease
If this produces an error that the -AllowPreRelease parameter is not recognized, then first update PowerShellGet and then restart your PowerShell console:
Install-Module PowerShellGet -Force -Scope CurrentUser
