Now is the time to install and import two important modules – Sitecore Install Framework Module and Sitecore Fundamental Module.
1. Open Powershell in administrator mode. Register the Sitecore Repositories by running the following command on Powershell :
Register-PSRepository –Name SitecoreRepo –SourceLocation https://sitecore.myget.org/f/sc-powershell/api/v2
2. When the Prompt asks for inputs. Press Y
3. Now Install the SIF Module by running the command below
Install-Module SitecoreInstallFramework
4. Then install Sitecore Fundamental Module by running the command
Install-Module SitecoreFundamentals
5. Now we need to import both the modules. Hence first import Sitecore Fundamentals, run this command.
Import-Module SitecoreFundamentals
6. Now import Sitecore Installation Framework module, run this command
Import-Module SitecoreInstallFramework
Pretty simple right? Awesome…..now lets begin the main show and as a next step we will execute SIF Installation Script.

I executed this command: Register-PSRepository -Name SitecoreGallery -SourceLocation https://sitecore.myget.org/F/sc-powershell/api/v2
I received this error message: Register-PSRepository : The specified Uri ‘https://sitecore.myget.org/F/sc-powershell/api/v2’ for parameter
‘SourceLocation’ is an invalid Web Uri. Please ensure that it meets the Web Uri requirements.

David and Sudhakar, thanks for reaching out. This is not a problem with SIF error but its related to accessing HTTPS end points. Please double check which version of Powershell you are using then have a look at this question on Stack Overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35296482/invalid-web-uri-error-on-register-psrepository

Hi Mike, this is because your SQL server have password security rules and the Default passwords in out of the box Siteocre JSON file (123) is not fulfilling that. You need to provide a password matching your SQL server policies.

I understand. With a little troubleshooting, I found a workaround. I have since encountered another issue: Error: Missing source parameter ‘EXM Master DB Name’ (). This must be set for successful synchronization.
Sitecore.StackExchange (https://sitecore.stackexchange.com/questions/9611/sitecore-9-update-1-installation-exm-master-db-name) says incorrect files, but I got the correct files from the website.
I’m looking for any other possible causes & solutions.

Well, I see you posted your question in SSE as an answer which is not correct, please see my comment there. There is definitely something wrong with your files. Please make sure if you edited the OOTB files, you dint mess anything unwanted.
