The PowerShell Gallery is a repository and distribution platform for scripts, modules, and Desired State Configuration (DSC) resources that have been written by Microsoft or other users of PowerShell.

In February 2016, Microsoft made the PowerShell Gallery public.

The PowerShell Gallery has parallels in other scripting languages, as shown in the following examples:

• Perl has cpan.org
• Python has PyPI
• Ruby has RubyGems

Support for the gallery is included by default in PowerShell 5. For PowerShell 3 and 4, PowerShellGet (via the PackageManagement PowerShell modules preview package) must be installed: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=51451.

The PowerShell Gallery may be searched using https://www.powershellgallery.com as shown in the following screenshot:
