  <p>NuGet provider is required to continue
  PowerShellGet requires NuGet provider version '2.8.5.201' or newer to interact with NuGet-based repositories. The NuGet
   provider must be available in 'C:\Program Files\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies' or
  'C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies'. You can also install the NuGet provider by running
  'Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force'. Do you want PowerShellGet to install and import
   the NuGet provider now?
