The -Scope parameter should be specified for Install-Module to clarify where the module will be installed. Without it, PowerShell will attempt to install to AllUsers scope which requires elevated permissions, potentially causing the command to fail for non-admin users.

Consider updating to:

Install-Module -Name PSScriptAnalyzer -Scope CurrentUser

This allows users to install the module without requiring administrator privileges.

Suggested change
Install-Module -Name PSScriptAnalyzer
Install-Module -Name PSScriptAnalyzer -Scope CurrentUser

Andy Jordan (@andyleejordan) We should use PSResourceGet commands.

Sean Wheeler (@sdwheeler) is this reasonable or should be defaulting to Install-PSResource?

I think having Install-Module and Install-PSResource is best as not everyone is on latest PowerShellGet, especially Windows PowerShell users

I'll defer to Christoph Bergmeister (@bergmeister) and agree since "easy" instructions means "just works"
