Hi All,

Greetings for the day 🙂 LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL WITH M365 🙂

Today new issue and solution 🙂

I shared PowerShell script to execute with one of my colleague. So he started SharePoint Online Management Shell and try to execute the script.

While executing the script he got following error

Install-Module : The term ‘Install-Module’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Solution: This means that we didn’t have installed “Windows Management Framework 5.1” on our system.

We can download ” Windows Management Framework 5.1 ” from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54616

Once we click on “Download” button as shown in Fig2 we will get the download options as

Once “Windows Management Framework 5.1” is installed successfully (it may ask for restart) this issue will went away. Then enjoy the PowerShell cmdlets 🙂

Thanks for reading 🙂 Enjoy the journey, Life is beautiful 🙂
