## Requirements

Azure PowerShell works with PowerShell 5.1 or higher on Windows, or PowerShell 6 on any platform.
Azure PowerShell works with PowerShell 5.1 or higher on Windows, or PowerShell Core 6.x and later on
all platforms. If you aren't sure if you have PowerShell, or are on macOS or Linux,
[install the latest PowerShell Core](/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell#powershell-core).

To check your PowerShell version, run the command:

```powershell-interactive
$PSVersionTable.PSVersion
```

If you have an outdated version or need to install PowerShell, see [Installing various versions of PowerShell](/powershell/scripting/setup/installing-powershell). Install
information for your platform is linked from that page.
To run Azure PowerShell in PowerShell 5.1 on Windows:

1. Update to [Windows PowerShell 5.1](/powershell/scripting/install/installing-windows-powershell#upgrading-existing-windows-powershell) if needed. If you're on Windows 10, you already
have PowerShell 5.1 installed.
2. Install [.NET Framework 4.7.2 or later](/dotnet/framework/install).

If you are using PowerShell 5 on Windows, you also need .NET Framework 4.7.2 installed. For instructions
on updating or installing a new version of .NET Framework, see the [.NET Framework installation guide](/dotnet/framework/install).
There are no additional requirements for Azure PowerShell when using PowerShell Core.
