The other day I had to install PowerCLI on a new system. Below is how I did this from PowerShell.

open PowerShell as an administrator and enter the following commands

Find-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI

Install-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI -Scope CurrentUser

After that I entered the following commands to see the VMWare modules

Get-Command -Module *VMWare*
