[origami]

Here’s a clean, end-to-end way to add Origami sample pages (PnP package) to your SharePoint Online Communication Site.

Prereqs (one-time)

1. PowerShell

• Windows 10/11: open Terminal and run:
  winget install --id Microsoft.PowerShell -e
• macOS (Homebrew):
  brew install --cask powershell

2. Execution policy (Windows only, if needed)

# Run in an elevated Windows PowerShell/Terminal once
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

3. Install PnP.PowerShell (cross-platform)

# In PowerShell 7+
Install-Module PnP.PowerShell -Scope CurrentUser
# If prompted to trust PSGallery, choose "Y"

4. Permissions you’ll need

• Site Collection Admin on the site where you want to install Origami samples.
