The Windows Management Framework 5.0 Preview May 2014 contains a new module, PowerShellGet. The management framework has a requirement of at least Windows 8.1. But, the module itself only has PowerShell requirement of 3.0. So, it can run successfully on Windows 7.
If you have access to Windows Azure, then you have a quick and easy way to get the module without the problem of upgrading to Windows 8.1. Using Windows Azure, you can create a quick Windows 8.1 machine using the Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 image.
Once the machine is up and running, you can connect with Remote Desktop. After installing WMF 5.0, the virtual machine will have the module under C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\PowerShellGet. Copy that folder down to your local Windows 7 installation and you should be ready to use it.
