FarNet library

To install as the FarNet library FarNet.Stateless, follow these steps.
The NuGet package is installed to %FARHOME%\FarNet\Lib\FarNet.Stateless.

The PowerShell module may be imported as:

Import-Module $env:FARHOME\FarNet\Lib\FarNet.Stateless

Expose the module as a symbolic link or junction

Consider exposing this module, so that you can:

Import-Module FarNet.Stateless

(1) Choose one of the module directories, see $env:PSModulePath.

(2) Change to the selected directory and create the symbolic link

New-Item FarNet.Stateless -ItemType SymbolicLink -Value $env:FARHOME\FarNet\Lib\FarNet.Stateless

(3) Alternatively, you may create the similar folder junction point in Far Manager using AltF6.

Then you may update the FarNet package with new versions. The symbolic link or junction do not have to be updated, they point to the same location.
