Cookbooks

PowerShell also requires the appropriate version of the Microsoft .NET Framework to be installed, if the operating system does not ship with that version. The following community cookbooks are used to install the correct version of the .NET Framework:

ms_dotnet

Resources

`powershell_module`

Deprecated

The powershell_module has been removed from this cookbook as it was non-functional for most needs and has been replaced with built in resources in chef:

Usage

Note: The installation may require a restart of the node being configured before PowerShell can be used.

default

The default recipe contains no resources and will do nothing if included on a run_list.

Include the powershell2 recipe in a run list, to ensure PowerShell 2.0 is installed. If the platform is not supported, a warning will be logged.

powershell3

Include the powershell3 recipe in a run list, to install PowerShell 3.0 is installed on applicable platforms. If the platform is not supported, a warning will be logged.

powershell4

Include the powershell4 recipe in a run list, to install PowerShell 4.0 is installed on applicable platforms. If the platform is not supported, a warning will be logged.
