Invoke-Install

Module to simplify PowerShell installations

Description

Invoke-Install is inspired by PSDeploy and Invoke-Build but rather then using a specific script language/format it just uses Powershell scripts and runs them. Imaging you have an application which comes with several independent services/modules/apis and all of them somehow need to be installed. Rather then having one large installation script for all services/modules/apis you will create independet *.install.ps1 files which all will complete an independent installation.

Invoke-Install comes with special Modules for more complicated tasks so that anything what needs to be done is a one liner.

The idea is that any *.install.ps1 is plain simple and straight forward understandable, they should not contain functions or a lot of switches or if, loops.

Installing

Install-Module Invoke-Install

Usage

Execute the following command to runn all *.install.ps1 files within the same directory

Invoke-Install .

or specify a specific *.install.ps1 to be used.

Invoke-Install MyApp.install.ps1

Check out the Examples in Examples/ to see what currently can be done with Invoke-Install. Feel free to contribute and add more Modules.
