Powershell command for Power BI

Helllo Everyone,

 

I ran the following commands for installing the Power BI moules for Powershell.

 

Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerBI.PowerShell

Install-Module -Name Microsoft.ADAL.PowerShell
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerBI.PowerShell

I got the following error message.

 
PS H:\> Login-PowerBI
Login-PowerBI : Unable to find setting configuration
At line:1 char:1
+ Login-PowerBI
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], FileNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.IO.FileNotFoundException

 

 

Kindly help in resolving this.

 

Regards,

Manhoj

Well. After installing the module, I ran Get-Help and this is what I see.

I do not see the Login-...cmdlet.

 

However, the Connect-PowerBI failed with the following error:

Connect-PowerBI : The 'Connect-PowerBI' command was found in the module 'Microsoft.PowerBI.PowerShell', but the module could not be
loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module Microsoft.PowerBI.PowerShell'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Connect-PowerBI
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Connect-PowerBI:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotAutoloadMatchingModule

 

Thinking what to do next...
