Need to update README.md with installation instructions about devtoolbox HOT 5 CLOSED

Install-Module devtoolbox should add it to the $PSModulePath in which case it should auto-load when first needed...

from devtoolbox.

I wonder if it doesn't because I've got a customized profile.ps1?

Technically you shouldn't need to import the module because PowerShell will do that on your behalf if you try to use one of the registered functions.

We can certainly add a link to the PowerShell Gallery page at https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/devtoolbox, but beyond that, the user needs to add Import-Module devtoolbox at the top of their profile.ps1.

I'd be interested in if there's a better way to install that would automatically add it to the profile. @brettmillerb or @corbob?

the problem you have there is that there are multiple profiles.

I use $Profile.CurrentUserAllHosts whereas a lot of people just use $Profile

But as @parithon said, it will auto-load the module when you try to use one of the commands as long as you are on PowerShell v3+.

I'm just going to add a section on the README.md that, like @brettmillerb suggested, links to the PowerShell Gallery.
