PowerShell Connect pnp Command

Question

Hello All, I am trying to run command "Connect-PnPOnline" but I am getting below error message. I tried to use Import-PnPOnline and also Install-PnPOnline, but none of them were worked properly. Request you to guide me step by step to resolve this errors.. I am new to this Powershell and unable identify the errors.

onnect-PnPOnline : The 'Connect-PnPOnline' command was found in the module 'PnP.PowerShell', but the module could not be 
loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module PnP.PowerShell'.

    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Connect-PnPOnline:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

And also when I tried to "Import-Module PnP.PowerShell", I am getting below error message.

directory.

Hi @Pandikumar Subramanian,

Per my research, I do agree with Rich Matheisen's answer. You can try the solution to fix the answer. And if you are using an old version powershell, this might also cause the error. Please try to update the powershell to the latest version and reinstall the pnp module.

This: "The term 'Install-Module' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet" is the problem.

If you run this: $ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode, what is the result? If it reports anything other than "FullLanguage" see your administrator.
