PSGallery Not Registering as Repository on Oracle Linux 7.6

[wre136]

After installing Powershell on Oracle Linux 7.6, I am unable to find and install any modules from PSGallery. When I attempt to run the command Install-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI, I receive the error "No match was found for the specified search criteria and module name 'VMware.PowerCLI'. Try Get-PSRepository to see all available registered module repositories."

When I run Get-PSRepository, I get the following:

"WARNING: Unable to find module repositories."

After searching, I found that this is fixed by running Register-PSRepository -Default -Verbose upon which I receive the message "VERBOSE: Performing the operation "Register Module Repository." on target "Module Repository 'PSGallery' () in provider 'PowerShellGet'."."

However when I run Get-PSRepository again, I still receive the message "WARNING: Unable to find module repositories.".

I am not using a proxy or have any special way of getting to the internet. I feel as if this is an issue where it is not downloading the information (maybe due to a certificate problem) or it cannot write the data to an appropriate spot on the system (either permissions or such) but I have no way of verifying or testing. Any help would be appreciated!

@wre136 thanks for reaching out,

Can you run:
Get-PSRepository -Debug -Verbose
Get-PackageSource -Debug -Verbose
Register-PSRepository -Default -Debug -Verbose

and can you provide the full logs for all these commands please, thanks!

I transferred this issue to PowerShell/PowerShellGetv2 since this is an issue with Install-Module and Register-Repository
