If you’ve just stumbled upon this article, I recommend you start from the beginning by clicking the Part 1 link below. For easy reading, I’ve broken this blog post into four parts:
Part 1: Microsoft SQL Server Installation 
Part 2: Management and Reporting Server Installation <– YOU ARE HERE
Part 3: Publishing Server Installation, Registration, and Load Balancer Configuration
Part 4: Sequencing and Client Installation

To ease deployment, I’ve created a Prerequisites PowerShell quick reference. Copy the following to paste into an elevated PowerShell prompt:

Install-WindowsFeature Web-Server
Install-WindowsFeature Web-Asp-Net
Install-WindowsFeature Web-Net-Ext
Install-WindowsFeature Web-ISAPI-Ext
Install-WindowsFeature Web-ISAPI-Filter
Install-WindowsFeature Web-Windows-Auth
Install-WindowsFeature Web-Mgmt-Console
Install-WindowsFeature NET-Framework-45-ASPNET
Install-WindowsFeature Web-Asp-Net45

APPV501-0030

Open an Elevated PowerShell prompt and paste the script block:

APPV501-0031

You should see several confirmations that the Roles and Features were installed. When completed, close the PowerShell prompt:

APPV501-0032

If you are not hosting SQL Server locally on the same management server, install Microsoft C++ 2010 Redistributables (x86 and x64). These are automatically installed for SQL Servers:
