To install Telnet in PowerShell you can run:

Install-WindowsFeature -name Telnet-Client

This unfortunately does not seem to work in PowerShell Core where it produces the following error:

Install-WindowsFeature : The term 'Install-WindowsFeature' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

What is the equivalent command in PowerShell Core to install Telnet?

Run in an elevated shell:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "TelnetClient"

An alternative way to install Telnet is via DISM:

dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:TelnetClient

If neither PowerShell Install-WindowsFeature nor DISM work for you, then Microsoft does not supply Telnet for your Windows version.

You could instead installChocolateyand then install its package oftelnetusing the command:

choco install telnet
