Is there any way to install a module without dependencies?

[msJinLei]

Hi team, I would like to ask whether there is a way to install one module without its dependencies using PowerShellGet or PackageManagement.

I find the -SkipDependencies in cmdlet Install-Package of PackageManagement ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/packagemanagement/install-package?view=powershell-7) but without the example of how to use it.

And I tried the execution such as
• Install-Package -Name Az -Source PSGallery -SkipDependencies -RequiredVersion 4.7.0
• Install-Package -Provider PowerShellGet -Source PSGallery -RequiredVersion 4.7.0 -SkipDependencies Az
However, all of above report that parameter “SkipDependencies” cannot be found.

So I would like to ask whether Install-Package supports skipping installing dependencies? Or is there other way to install a module without its dependencies with PowerShellGet or PackageManagement?
