First, I would like to say that I'm a total beginner, so please try not to use to complexe words. I use Powershell V5 and I need to run the following line :

Install-Module ImportExcel -scope CurrentUser

But an error message appears

Install-Module : Le terme «Install-Module» n'est pas reconnu comme nom d'applet de commande, fonction, fichier de script ou programme exécutable. Vérifiez l'orthographe du nom, ou si un chemin d'accès existe, vérifiez que le chemin d'accès est correct et réessayez.

en:

The term 'Install-Module' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I have the Powershell version 5.0 :

PSVersion 5.0.10586.117
PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...}
BuildVersion 10.0.10586.117
CLRVersion 4.0.30319.36366
WSManStackVersion 3.0
PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.3
SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1

Very importantly run PowerShell elevated as administrator on your Windows machine and then run 

Find-Module -Name PowerShellGet | Install-Module
Find-Module -Name ImportExcel | Install-Module

If you are prompted, just select "Yes to all" for each of those commands, and let both complete and once that's finished, try again.

ImportExcel 6.0.0

PowerShell module to import/export Excel spreadsheets, without Excel.

This worked for me with Windows 10 and PowerShell 5.1 so I wanted to post as a more clear answer in case it helps others that stumble upon this post.

I had to specify -RequiredVersion 6.0.0 to get Install-Module -Name Import-Excel to not give me the "No match was found" error, on my Windows 11 Pro system, using Windows Powershell 5.1.22621.1778

Install-Module -Name ImportExcel -RequiredVersion 6.0.0

I would add the -force parameter as well to make sure it installs

Find-Module -Name ImportExcel | Install-Module -Force
