Prerequisites:

Install WMF 5.0
Request access to PowerShellGallery from here (this step is required if publishing modules is intended)

PowerShellGet Contacts:

Manikyam Bavandla
Keith Bankston

Notes:

Modules are discoverable by default after install
Modules are installed under %ProgramFiles%\WindowsPowerShell\Modules
To check updates execute Update-Module –WhatIf

Usage:

Install, Uninstall and other cmdlets are described here

Known issues (will be fixed in the next preview-release):

Updating loaded module fails because PSGet tries to delete a module file that is already loaded. You will need to remove the module Remove-Module <Module Name> and then update to the latest version.
There is no support to module dependency. In the next release, ModuleVersion will be used to specify the minimum version and RequiredVersion will be used for the exact version.

Known unresolved issues:

Module specification doesn’t support the version range yet.
