Setting up powershell for microsoft azure cloud

So it is that time of the day, actually night, actually morning 2:15am where I felt like trying out of azure. I most prefer to learn by seeing and doing but i like my words, thank you very much. The way you do with words (command prompt, script, automation) remains same, similar and sometimes identical forever but GUI keeps changing.
Run your powershell 5, 6 or ISE, whichever you like; even your visual studio code if it is configured with powershell.
Install-Module -Name AzureRM -AllowClobber

I also suggest you to go ahead and get the cli tool for powershell from here
close all the powershell windows.
launch the powershell as administrator and enable execution of script by running the following.
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Now we want to get the azure credentials.
Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile
It takes you to the azure portal where you can select the payment model, validate and for that you get to download publish settings.
Now we will import them using the downloaded file and delete that file. Once imported that file is no more needed (for security reasons).

PS C:\Users\<username>> Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile 'C:\Users\<username>\Documents\azure\Windows Azure MSDN - 1_4_2018, 04_43_29 - credentials.publishsettings'

Now let us whether it worked by trying to list all the azure environments.

PS C:\Users\<username> Get-AzureEnvironment
