SharePoint 2016/2013: How To Install SharePoint Client Components SDK
In this article, we will look for another necessary component that we will be required when preparing client machines for CSOM based PowerShell Development.
Microsoft has packaged all the SharePoint Client Side Programming DLLs using “SharePoint <Version> (2013/2016) Client Components” package which is required to start with CSOM based PowerShell Development.
Download “SharePoint <Version> (2013/2016) Client Components SDK” from the Microsoft Download website.

Choose the version of MSI file depending on the type of Operating System you are using. In my case, we are using 64-bit OS so download the 64-bit version of the MSI file.
