Permanently add PowerShell module? (Import-Module)

问题:

I'm using a third-party module I found on GitHub and importing it with:

powershell Import-Module .\foo.ps1

This imports successfully and the module works great. But when I open a new PowerShell terminal, it doesn't load the module, I have to run the Import-Module command everytime. Is it possible to have modules load permanently?

I'm using Windows 10 with PowerShell v3.

You can add it to one of your profiles that powershell loads by default. Best bet is

%UserProfile%\My Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 

or

%UserProfile%\My Documents\WindowsPowerShell\profile.ps1

see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions//bb613488(v=vs.85) for the full list

Since Powershell v3 Modules will be loaded automatically if you install them to the right place with Install-Module.
