  You don't.  Just ask PowerShell to install the module.

  Install-Module SQLServer

  I suggest that you start by learning PowerShell as this is one of the first things you will learn. You will also need it to use the SQLServer module and to use the other management modules for SQLServer.

  I would think what you really want/need is to download and install docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-2017 (SQL Server Management Studio)

  The issue is how to install the PowerShell SQLServer module.  That module does not come with SSMS.  It is a separate download and install and installs like any other module.  What the OP has is the NuGet project for the module which is only useful if you are going to modify the module.

  The module is freely available from the PowerShellGallery using PowerShellGet (install-module). which will download and install the module into PowerShell.

  See the following Microsoft document for complete instructions: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/powershell/download-sql-server-ps-module?view=sql-server-2017
