MSOnline can't be imported on PowerShell (Connect-MsolService error)

Question

I had this issue and couldn´t find any answer. The issue was that I was trying to use Azure cdmlets to connect to O365 via c# code, but I couldn´t get the connect-msolservice.

""The term is not recognized" error when you try to run administrative Windows PowerShell cmdlets in Office 365"

After reviewing Microsoft's TechNet article "Azure Active Directory Cmdlets" -> section "Install the Azure AD Module", it seems that this process has been drastically simplified, thankfully.

As of 2016/06/30, in order to successfully execute the PowerShell commands Import-Module MSOnline and Connect-MsolService, you will need to install the following applications (64-bit only):
