Minimum components to run PowerCli scripts

Diring the time I installed lots of PowerShell and PowerCli components on the PC I usually use to create and run PowerCli scripts.

Now I need to install on a Windows Server 2016 server the minimum components required to create, edit and run PowerCli scripts for a vSphere infrastructure based on 6.5 and 5.5 hosts.

Which components should I download and install?

Regards

Since PowerShell is included in Windows 2016, you don't need to install that .

So only get the VMware PowerCLI modules (Install-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI).

And eventually a decent editor/development IDE, something like Visual Studio Code.

You can ultimately edit your scripts in something like notepad, but that would not be the most ideal situation. :smileygrin:
