# System Requirements

## PowerShell

* Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7.
* PowerShellGet or PSResourceGet configured for the PowerShell Gallery.

| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
| Windows PowerShell | .NET Framework 4.6.2 or later Developer Pack |
| PowerShell 7.2     | .NET 6 SDK                                   |
| PowerShell 7.3     | .NET 7 SDK                                   |
| PowerShell 7.4     | .NET 8 SDK                                   |

The packaging process may need access to NuGet.org or an internal NuGet feed to restore runtime packages. See [Package.psd1](/open-source-tools/powershell-module/packaging/package.psd1.md) for supported package configuration values.
