NuGet PackageProvider Install Fix:
The NuGet package provider requires TLS 1.2. This can be found in the Microsoft documentation as a note. The requirement was made in April of 2020 that the PowerShell Gallery no longer supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.0 and 1.1. 
To check the systems current TLS settings, run the command.
|
1 |
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol |
To Add TLS 1.2 run the command.
|
1 |
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 |
This should correct the error message and allow you to install the NuGet Package Provider.
