This is very frustrating, I am following this very simple example from Install Power BI PowerShell On Your Windows Machine (c-sharpcorner.com)

Hi @Anonymous ,

It sounds like the PowerShell module for Power BI is not installed or not properly loaded. To fix this, you can try the following steps:

1. Open PowerShell as an administrator

2. Run the command "Install-Module -Name MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt"

Installation

Install-Module -Name MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt

3. If prompted to install the NuGet provider, type "Y" and press Enter

4. Once the installation is complete, run the command "Import-Module -Name MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt"

5. Try running the "Login-PowerBI" cmdlet again and see if the error is resolved.

Best Regards

Hi @Anonymous ,

I just tested in my side, it works well (see the ones in below screenshot). Please make sure the following conditions be statisfied:

Supported environments and PowerShell versions

  • Windows PowerShell v3.0 and up with .NET 4.7.1 or above.
  • PowerShell Core (v6) and up on any OS platform supported by PowerShell Core.
