Missing SQL Server PowerShell snap-in despite SQL Server installation

Question

I am using SQL Server 2012 SP1 Developer Edition. Recently, I had to use snapin SQL Server, but PowerShell claims to not have it. I did research on the Internet, but I did not find any working solution. Is there a way to add it to PowerShell?

In SQL Server 2012, the PowerShell functionality provided by the product appeared as a PowerShell module, so you no longer need to work with snapins.

To use the SQL Server PowerShell module, you just need to do this:

Import-Module "sqlps"
