SYNTAX¶
Get-EvergreenApp [-Name] <String> [[-AppParams] <Hashtable>] [-Proxy <String>]
[-ProxyCredential <PSCredential>] [-SkipCertificateCheck] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION¶
Queries the internal application functions and manifests included in the module to find the latest version and download link/s for the specified application.
The output from this function can be passed to Where-Object to filter for a specific download based on properties including processor architecture, file type or other properties.
Get-EvergreenApp uses official vendor sites including update APIs, web queries, and code repository locations to return details of a target application at run time.

EXAMPLE 4¶
Get-EvergreenApp -Name "AdobeAcrobatReaderDC" | Where-Object { $_.Language -eq "English" -and $_.Architecture -eq "x86" }
Description: Returns the current version and download URL that matches the English language, 32-bit release of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
EXAMPLE 5¶
Find-EvergreenApp -Name "Teams" | Get-EvergreenApp
Description: Lists the available applications matching the string "Teams" (for example, Microsoft Teams), and passes the output to Get-EvergreenApp, which will query the matching application name. Note that Get-EvergreenApp will only process the first application returned on the pipeline and not all multiple matching applications.
EXAMPLE 6¶
Get-EvergreenApp -Name "MicrosoftTeams" | Save-EvergreenApp -Path "C:\Apps\Teams"
Description: Get-EvergreenApp returns the details for the latest version of Microsoft Teams which is passed via the pipeline to Save-EvergreenApp. The output is used to save the target URLs to C:\Apps\Teams using a directory structure based on the returned object. In this case, the Ring and Architecture properties of the returned object will be used in the directory structure.
EXAMPLE 7¶
Get-EvergreenApp -Name "MozillaFirefox" -AppParams @{ Language = "en-GB", "es-ES" }
Description: Passes en-GB an es-ES languages to MozillaFirefox to return downloads for these languages rather than the default en-US.
EXAMPLE 8¶
Get-EvergreenApp -Name "GitHubRelease" -AppParams @{ Uri = "https://api.github.com/repos/atom/atom/releases/latest" }
Description: Passes a custom repository to the internal application function for GetHubRelease rather than using the repository embedded into the manifest, allowing Get-EvergreenApp to find the releases for an application hosted on GitHub that isn't already supported by Evergreen.
