To install Internet Information Services (IIS) using PowerShell, you can utilize the `Install-WindowsFeature` cmdlet. This cmdlet allows you to install Windows features, including IIS. Here's how you can install IIS using PowerShell:
1. Open PowerShell as an administrator. You can do this by right-clicking on the PowerShell icon and selecting "Run as administrator."
2. Run the following command to install IIS:
Install-WindowsFeature -Name Web-Server -IncludeManagementTools
This command installs the base components of IIS (`Web-Server`) and includes the management tools (`-IncludeManagementTools`), which are useful for managing and configuring IIS.
3. PowerShell will display a prompt to confirm the installation. Type "Y" and press Enter to proceed.
4. The installation process will start, and you'll see the progress on the console.
5. Once the installation is complete, you will have IIS installed on your Windows system.
To verify the installation, you can open a web browser and navigate to `http://localhost`. If IIS is installed correctly, you should see the default IIS welcome page.
That's it! You have successfully installed IIS using PowerShell. You can now start configuring and utilizing IIS for hosting websites or web applications.
