Install-ModuleDependency

Namespace PSPublishModule

Inputs

System.Management.Automation.PSObject System.String

Outputs

PowerForge.EmbeddedModuleDependencyInstallResult

Installs a module and its embedded dependencies to an explicit private runtime folder.

Remarks

The command reads the dependency manifest produced by New-ConfigurationModule -Type EmbeddedModule and copies the root module plus each dependency payload to the requested path. Modules are not installed into PSModulePath unless the chosen path is already part of PSModulePath.

Examples
