Get-Module

Inventory modules installed in discoverable module paths without importing them.

Last verified: 2026-10-26

Returns module metadata. Discovery does not prove a module can load successfully on this platform.

Get-Module [[-Name] <String[]>] [-FullyQualifiedName <ModuleSpecification[]>] [-All]
 [<CommonParameters>]

Required permissions

No elevation is required for the in-memory examples. Filesystem operations require read or traversal access to the selected path.

Supported environments

PowerShell · 7.6; filesystem examples require the FileSystem provider

Parameters

-ListAvailable

Includes modules available on disk rather than only those loaded in the session.

Prerequisites

PowerShell 7.6 with Microsoft.PowerShell.Core. For file examples, replace the sample path with an accessible file or directory.

Security considerations

Low risk for the supplied example. Protect file contents, paths, and returned system metadata. Review any modifications to the example before execution.
