First, download and extract the zip.

Then, to install to the default module folder, copy the Toolkit files to the appropriate default PowerShell modules folder location. This will make the Toolkit modules available to either the current user, or all users on the install device, depending on the path you chose.

To see the appropriate folder locations, examine the $Env:PSModulePath variable in PowerShell.

Assuming you are installing to the per-machine folder, create a new folder under this path called PSTachyonToolkit and copy the following files into this folder.

You can now import the Toolkit into a PowerShell session by typing:

import-module PSTachyonToolkit

You can alternatively choose to run the PowerShell Toolkit from any folder you choose. To do this, ensure that the files from the above location are in an appropriate folder and launch a PowerShell command prompt, from an account that has the appropriate Tachyon privileges.

Import the manifest with:

import-module .\psTachyonToolkit

Before you can use the PowerShell Toolkit, you must define the server to which it will connect.

Set the server you want to communicate with:

set-Tachyonserver <server name>

For example, if the server is 'tachyon.urth.local'

set-Tachyonserver tachyon.urth.local

To customize the pstachyonToolkit.psm1 script, simply change the variables at the top of the script to reflect the environment in which you are working. The current set of customizable variables are shown below.

$TACHYONCONSUMER = "Explorer" # Consumer to use when executing instructions
$INSTPREFIX = "1E-Exchange" # Instruction prefix that you have a license for and corresponding code signing certificate in your local machine cert store
$INSTRUCTIONSET = "DynamicScripting" # Instruction set name where dynamic instructions are created in Tachyon
$MAXTARGETDEVICES = 10 # Maximum number of devices allowed to be targeted by scope; this is a safety-catch to prevent you accidentally sending stuff out to a large device count
