How do install AzureAD PowerShell module

Question

When I try to install the AzureAD module I get the following error:

Import-Module -Name AzureAD

Import-Module : The specified module 'AzureAD' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.

Answer 1

Import-Module loads a PowerShell module which you have already installed on your system. It looks like in your case, the module hasn't been installed yet.

To install Azure AD PowerShell, you need to use Install-Module:

Install-Module -Name "AzureAD"

If you would like to install the module to the current user (i.e. without administrator privileges), you can do this:

Install-Module -Name "AzureAD" -Scope CurrentUser
