Install Specific Version of PowerShell Module

To install the specific version of the PowerShell module, we need to use the -RequiredVersion parameter with the Install-Module command.

To find which module versions are available, we can use the Find-Module command with the -AllVersions parameter which retrieves all the versions of the module available in the PSGallery.

In this example, we will use the 7Zip4PowerShell module.

Example

Find-Module 7zip4PowerShell -AllVersions | ft -AutoSize

When you run this command, you can see there are multiple versions available for this module.

Output

Version  Name            Repository
-------  ----            ----------
1.13.0   7Zip4Powershell PSGallery
1.12.0   7Zip4Powershell PSGallery
1.11.0   7Zip4Powershell PSGallery
1.10.0.0 7Zip4Powershell PSGallery
1.9.0    7Zip4Powershell PSGallery
1.8.0    7Zip4Powershell PSGallery
1.7.1    7Zip4Powershell PSGallery

We need to install here version 1.9.0 for all the users, so we will use the below command.

Example

Install-Module 7Zip4PowerShell -RequiredVersion 1.8.0 -Scope AllUsers -Force -Verbose

To install PowerShell module on the remote server, use the below command,
