### -ListAvailable

Indicates that this cmdlet gets all installed modules. `Get-Module` gets modules in paths listed in
the **PSModulePath** environment variable. Without this parameter, `Get-Module` gets only the
modules that are both listed in the **PSModulePath** environment variable, and that are loaded in
the current session. **ListAvailable** does not return information about modules that are not found
in the **PSModulePath** environment variable, even if those modules are loaded in the current
session.
By default, `Get-Module` only returns the modules that have been imported into the current session.
With this parameter the command lists modules installed in any path included in the
`$env:PSModulePath` environment variable.
