# Install PowerShell modules

Windows PowerShell is needed to execute deployment scripts.

Follow the steps below to install Azure and SQL PowerShell modules:

1. Select the **Windows key**. Search for "**Windows PowerShell**".
2. Right-click on **PowerShell** -> **Run as Administrator** to open Windows PowerShell as an Administrator.
3. Run the “**Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Force**” command on the Windows PowerShell terminal. This command installs the "Az" module in PowerShell, allowing us to use the PowerShell cmdlets provided by the module to manage Azure Services. 
4. Enter **Y** when asked if you want PowerShellGet to install and import the NuGet provider.
5. Run the “**Install-Module -Name SqlServer -AllowClobber -Force**” command on the Windows PowerShell terminal. This command is used to install the “SqlServer” module in PowerShell.
