Description

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

From PS & DevOps Summit session on authoring DSCv3 modules - we will need some way to install resources.

ideally, this could even happen on demand but only from trusted sources.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Since each language has distinct ways to install "things", we could make "install" a capability of adapters.

dsc resource install 'computermanagementdsc' --adapter 'microsoft.dsc/powershell'
(would run install-psresource computermanagementdsc)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the proposed dsc resource install command and the adapter capability described in issue #398, including how install-psresource would be invoked. The issue needs a defined scope for trusted sources, on-demand installation, and adapter behavior before completion can be assessed.
