Reinstall News app with powershell

$

The Metro or Modern apps in my Windows 8 stopped working when I upgraded to 8.1  Researching the problem I uninstalled the News app that comes with Widows. Then I tried to add it back. I only have a local account and don't want to create a Microsoft account to download this one app. I tried using PowerShell. I tried this:

add-appxpackage C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.BingNews_3.0.1.321_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe -AllUsers

and also this:

add-appxpackage C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.BingNews_3.0.1.321_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe -Home-Ps\Myname

I created a new user and it installed the news app. But when I signed out and logged back in with my admin account its not there.

Can anyone help me with correct syntax to get Powershell to intall it? There are lots of tutorial how to remove the default apps but none to install them.
