Getting Started¶
Getting Started gets PSScriptBuilder installed and a first script built end to end, with just enough explanation at each step to keep things moving. Work through it in order: install the module first, then scaffold a project and run your first build. From a clean machine to a working, dependency-ordered script takes only a handful of commands and requires nothing beyond PowerShell 5.1 or later — no external dependencies, and the same steps work on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
This section favors speed over explanation. For the same journey with a full walkthrough of why each step works the way it does and what happens under the hood, see Building Your First Project in the Tutorials section instead.
