A simple package manager written as a Windows PowerShell module.
This is a simple package manager written in PowerShell.
If run, it will download an unattended installation script of the specific program and executes the PowerShell script.
The PowerShell script will then download and silently install the specific program.
Deletion of packages is possible too.
All packages get installed here: C:\Empress\PACKAGENAME\
Packages are named after their folder in which their installation script is.
All available software packages are in the SortwarePackages Folder.
- Download the module. You can find all releases here.
- Extract the zip file
- Unblock the file with PowerShell:
Unblock-File -Path C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\Downloads\Empress\*
- Put the
\Empress
folder inside:C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules
Now that you have imported the module, you can call the Empress functions.
To download and install a package simply run this command in a elevated PowerShell Console:
Get-EmpPackage [PackageName]
An alias exists too: gemp [PackageName]
Get-EmpPackage firefox
or as alias:
gemp firefox
Thats it!
