In PowerShell, is there an "on installation" event (for Install-Module)?

When I define my own module with a manifest, I have the option to run a ps1 upon import of my module (ScriptsToProcess) (Import-Module).

Is there a similar hook for that triggers upon install (Install-Module)?

I'm asking because support for the PSData.ExternalModuleDependencies is still super scarse.

I need to trigger an installation of a dependent external module, when I install my own module(s)

Try using a file in the PS profile directory - `$profileDir = split-path $profile` - check if it exists or create otherwise. I haven't tried it so I'm not posting an answer. – wOxxOm Sep 03 '16 at 13:39

Installation of what exactly? The module itself? – Mathias R. Jessen Sep 03 '16 at 13:40
