DSC Push mode - best way to copy DSC resources

I'm exploring DSC and wondering what's the best way to copy DSC resources to target host ?

When I try to push my configuration to the target host, It complain of missing DSC resource.

The PowerShell DSC resource xWebAdministration does not exist at the PowerShell module path nor is it registered as a WMI DSC resource.
