Installation

This page explains how to install the Dottifier module so that it can be used from the Powershell commandline or scripts.

   (Currently is Dottifier only available as Powershell Module, file name includes -psm.)

2. Extract the Dottifier directory from the .zip file and put it in an accessible location.

   • Default directory:
     Go to the directory located at: %ProgramFiles%\WindowsPowerShell\Modules and move the previously extracted Dottifier directory into this one.
   • Custom directory:
     
     1. Create a module directory at a location of choosing, e.g. C:\MyPowershellModules
     2. Move the previously extracted Dottifier directory into the created one.
     3. Now needs the directory path be appended to the system it's environment variable called PSModulePath.
        e.g. in Windows, go to System -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced (tab) -> Environment Variables
        Locate the PSModulePath variable in the System Properties and press edit. Add now a new entry to the list pointing to the directory you created e.g. C:\MyPowershellModules. If it's not a list, but a single row, append the path separated by the ; character.
