How to stop re-downloading the PnP Sharepoint 2013 library on every run of the script?

PowerShell Help

Where I work we use both Sharepoint 2013 and Sharepoint Online.

If ever I have to download a spreadsheet from Sharepoint 2013; I have to re-download and reinstall the library just in the process before downloading the Sheet from Sharepoint 2013; it is really slow.

I also hate the fact that we are using Spreadsheets at all because they suck and they are slow; but I work at a business; and business people are ignorant and always think they should use spreadsheets; they never think they should god-forbid learn SQL; they’re too busy making money to learn things I guess.

Maybe someone’s used Install-Module instead of Import-Module in the script?

Impossible to help without seeing the code though. Please share the script and remember to use the </> button to format the code. If you can’t see the button on the toolbar, it will be under the gear icon.

The line in question is:

Install-Module -Name SharePointPnPPowerShell2013 -Scope CurrentUser -AllowClobber -Force

But… I have by default I have the other libraries installed for Sharepoint Online:

PS> Get-Module

ModuleType Version    Name                                ExportedCommands
---------- -------    ----                                ----------------
Script     2.2.6      PSReadline                          {Get-PSReadLineKeyHandler, Get-PSReadLineOption, Remove-PSReadLineKeyHandler, Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler...}
Binary     3.29.21... SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline       {Add-PnPAlert, Add-PnPApp, Add-PnPApplicationCustomizer, Add-PnPClientSidePage...}

And I need to be able to use them both; but not re-download them every single time I use them.

Do the modules conflict when they’re both installed?
