PowerShell gallery module doesn't install

I'm trying to install the PSExcel module from the Powershell gallery at https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PSExcel/1.0.2, but when I try to install it I get the following verbose output and the module isn't installed (I've started Powershell ISE as admin):

PS H:\> install-module -name PSExcel -verbose -Repository psgallery
VERBOSE: Repository details, Name = 'PSGallery', Location = 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2'; IsTrusted = 'False'; IsRegistered = 'True'.
VERBOSE: Using the provider 'PowerShellGet' for searching packages.

VERBOSE: Total package yield:'1' for the specified package 'PSExcel'.
VERBOSE: Skipping installed module PSExcel 1.0.2.

Using Get-Module -ListAvailable shows that the module is installed but hasn't exported any commands.

Why won't the module install and export it's commands?

I'm using PowerShell 5.1 for Windows.

I think I've figured it out - I needed to import the module after installing it.

The commands were:

install-module -name PSExcel -verbose -Repository psgallery -AllowClobber -Force

Then:

Import-Module -Name PSExcel -verbose
