is it possible at all? ( yes, probably, since 2015-01-06 - https://github.com/Pash-Project/Pash/pull/331 , https://github.com/Pash-Project/Pash/issues/332 )

PASH /> get-module all
PASH />

works, but doesn't show anything...

This tutorial doesn't work: https://www.simple-talk.com/sysadmin/powershell/an-introduction-to-powershell-modules/

PASH /> New-ModuleManifest
Command 'New-ModuleManifest' not found.

Here is a blog entry about what works, and doesn't work yet with our module system: http://blog.empalis-systems.com/module-support-pash/

We don't have a (graphical) interface to create manifest, yet (as New-ModuleManifest). But you can just write some in an editor, as in this example. Note that a manifest is optional for simple script & binary modules.

Get-Module -ListAvailable doesn't work yet, as the results of the discussion of #332 haven't been integrated yet, so Pash doesn't know where to look for modules. But this is on my TODO list ;) For now, you can import modules by using the absolute or relative path to the module location.
