How to Install PnP PowerShell on computer

There are 3 ways to install the cmdlets. We recommend, where possible, to install them from the PowerShell Gallery. 

Alternatively, you can run a PowerShell script to download the commands. Get-module and install the cmdlets used for it.

PowerShell Gallery

If you have a Windows 10 operating system, or PowerShellGet already installed on your computer.

at that time you can run the below commands to install the PowerShell.

SharePoint Version	Command to install
SharePoint Online	Install-Module SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline
SharePoint 2016	Install-Module SharePointPnPPowerShell2016

Updating

Every month a new release will be made available of the PnP PowerShell Cmdlets.

If you already installed the cmdlets using the setup file, simply download the latest version and run the setup. This will update your existing installation.

If you have installed the cmdlets using PowerShellGet with Install-Module from the PowerShell Gallery then you will be able to use the following command to install the latest updated version:

Update-Module SharePointPnPPowerShell*

This will automatically load the module after starting PowerShell 3.0.
