How to install SharePoint Online Management Shell on Mac?

Question

Does anyone tell me how to install the SharePoint Online Management Shell to Mac?

Answer 1

SharePoint Online Management Shell does not yet work from a Mac, due to missing libraries. You will need a windows installation to use it. From my Powershell 7 installation:

Get-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -ListAvailable | Select Name,Version

Name                                   Version
----                                   -------
Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell 16.0.23311.12000

Connect-SPOService -Url https://TENANTNAME-admin.sharepoint.com
Connect-SPOService: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Win32.Registry' threw an exception.

PnP Powershell works. Most things can be done by PnP Powershell, though it is not supported by MS offficially.
