You have to run in powershell in an elevated state/run as administrator (before opening power shell, right click and run as administrator).
Accept the questions ( like you have a choice, lol, unless of course you’d prefer to not go ahead with it).
Now, when you press enter, after installing SharePoint PnP Powershell Online, you will be prompted to login.
