SYNOPSIS
    Adds Package Management package providers to the current session.
    
    
SYNTAX
    Import-PackageProvider [-Name]  [-Force] [-ForceBootstrap] [-MaximumVersion ] [-MinimumVersion 
    ] [-RequiredVersion ] []
    
    
DESCRIPTION
    The Import-PackageProvider cmdlet adds one or more package providers to the current session. The provider that you 
    import must be installed on the local computer.
    
    To get a list of available providers, run `Get-PackageProvider -ListAvailable`. Note that a package provider name 
    can be different from its module name.
    
    Due to security reasons, PackageManagement requires C#-based providers to contain a provider.manifest. For more 
    information on how to build a provider with provider.manifest injected, see the .csproj project files on 
    https://github.com/oneget/onegethttps://oneget.org.
