This command installs the specified file in the same layer that it was exported from.

By default, you will be prompted to install the model based on whether it has been signed. The following table describes the prompts shown.

Scenario	Prompt
The model file is not signed.	The model is not signed. Are you sure you want to install this model (Y/N)?
The publisher is recognized from the digital certificate.	The model is signed by ‘{0}’”. Would you like to continue (Y/N)?
The publisher was not available from the digital certificate.	The certificate for the model was not recognized. Are you sure you want to install this model (Y/N)?
The provider for the certificate is unknown.	The certificate for the model was not recognized. Are you sure you want to install this model (Y/N)?

If the installation fails because of a conflict, we recommend that you rerun the cmdlet, and use the -Conflict Push option to push the element that has the conflict to the related update layer. You can then resolve the conflict. For more information, see How to: Resolve Conflicts After Importing a Model.
