Creating a sharepoint 2013 site collection with powershell

Question

I'm trying to create a site collection and I get an message when opening the SP management shell console:

"The local farm is not accessible. Cmdlets with FeatureDependencyId are not registered"

I have tried almost everything internet has to offer but no luck. It would be a great help if someone could share some ideas. I have used below site as a reference because it seems to be the same issue.

Answer 1

Please try this. Whenever, I load the PowerShell ISE and Type the command to load the SharePoint PowerShell module, it starts throwing error

Answer 2

Figured it out! The problem was the user permissions. I had to use a different user with elevated permission to access the farm.
