''This parameter set requires WSMan, and no supported WSMan client library was found. WSMan is either not installed or unavailable for this system.''

when running
  Connect-ExchangeOnline -InlineCredential

Use docker instead:

<code>
docker run  \
  -v $HOME:$HOME \
  -v $HOME/.local/share/powershell/:/root/.local/share/powershell/  \
  -v $HOME/.cache/powershell/:/root/.cache/powershell/  \
  -it mcr.microsoft.com/azure-powershell pwsh
</code>



  Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement

  Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement

===== If you are using username and password run these steps =====
  $UserCredential = Get-Credential

Then input your credentials:
<code powershell>
PS /> $UserCredential = Get-Credential

PowerShell credential request
Enter your credentials.
User: user@example.com
Password for user user@example.com: ****************
</code>

Connect to exchange:
  Connect-ExchangeOnline -Credential $UserCredential

===== If you are using the MFA setup run this command =====

  Connect-ExchangeOnline -Device

The command returns a URL and unique code that's tied to the session. You need to open the URL in a browser on any computer, and then enter the unique code. After you complete the login in the web browser, the session in the Powershell 7 window is authenticated via the regular Azure AD authentication flow, and the Exchange Online cmdlets are imported after few seconds.


===== Test connection =====

  Get-Mailbox

It should return a list of mailboxes.
