Installation problem with Powershell 7.3.2 #5

Closed gabcavic closed 1 year ago

gabcavic commented 1 year ago

I have just tried to install the utility as a powershell module using Powershell 7.3.2. I correctly set the execution policy as specified in the installation guide. Nevertheless I get the following prompt

Downloading WslCompact...wget: Line | 45 | $ZIPURL=(wget -q https://api.github.com/repos/okibcn/wslcompact/relea … | ~~~~ | The term 'wget' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.

Apparently powershell in my configuration does not recognize wget as a powershell cmdlet and this prevent the module to be installed as it can be seen from the subsequent lines. I am not an expert of powershell, so I have been asking to myself: "Is this a problem with my configuration?". Have you ever faced this issue? Do you know a possible workaround?

@gabcavic, It should be fixed now.

Thanks for letting me know.
