Prerequisities

For safety purposes the default execution policy on Windows prevents running any PowerShell scripts. You can see the current policy by running the command:

Get-ExecutionPolicy -List

Scope           ExecutionPolicy
-----           ---------------
MachinePolicy   Undefined
UserPolicy      Undefined
Process         Undefined
CurrentUser     Restricted
LocalMachine    RemoteSigned

To be able to run any local scripts, it should be at least on the RemoteSigned level. You can enable it for current users by executing:

Set-ExecutionPolicy  -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned

See the MS PowerShell execution policy docs for more info. Also check the Unblock-File functionalkity for files downloaded from internet.

Moravia Nuget repository

The MT Companion PowerShell module is available in Moravia Nuget packages server. To be able to download it from the Moravia Nuget repository, register it first:

$uri = 'https://nuget.moravia.com'
$nuget_repo = @{
    Name = 'Moravia'
    SourceLocation = "$uri/nuget"
    PublishLocation = "$uri/api/v2/package"
    ScriptSourceLocation = "$uri/nuget"
    ScriptPublishLocation = "$uri/api/v2/package"
    InstallationPolicy = 'Trusted'
}
Register-PSRepository @nuget_repo

To verify that the registration was successful, obtain the list of registered repositories. Our previously registered repo should be listed in the output:

Get-PSrepository

Name                      InstallationPolicy   SourceLocation
----                      ------------------   --------------
PSGallery                 Untrusted            https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2
Moravia                   Trusted              https://nuget.moravia.com/nuget/

To verify the module is available under repo run following:

Find-Module -Repo Moravia -Name MTCompanion

Version    Name                                Repository           Description
-------    ----                                ----------           -----------
4.0        MtCompanion                         Moravia        MT Companion functionality

Warning

Note - for users outside of Moravia, the server is not accessible. As a workaround, ask MTCompanion Team for nuget package, then create local repository and place the nuget there.

To create a local repository (for example at c:my-local-Repo), use following command:

$local_nuget_repo = @{
    Name = 'My-Local-Repo'
    SourceLocation = "c:\my-local-repo"
    PublishLocation = "c:\my-local-repo"
    InstallationPolicy = 'Trusted'
}

Register-PSRepository @local_nuget_repo

Then place the nuget there and verify it is available.

Find-Module -Repo My-Local-Repo -Name MTCompanion

Version    Name                                Repository           Description

Authentication - Setup the Client Profile

The scripts authentication requires the valid Client credentials. This information is provided by MT Companion/Logan team (the solution named MoraviaLogin).

Thus, before running any scripts, the Client profile must be set. To do so, execute:

Set-ClientProfile -ClientName "client id" -Label "client label"

You will be prompted to enter the Client secret as well.

To see which client profile is active , run Get-ClientProfile.
