looks like you need to install the PowerShell 3.0 as it is required. You can download the PowerShell 3.0 from here
Once you install it then retry to install the SPO management shell. Also take a look here:
SharePoint Online Management Shell requires PowerShell 3.0 installed:
Please install PowerShell 3.0 here:
This article seems to address your exact issue:
It specifically states to Download and Install Windows Management Framework 5.1 if your error appears:

After installing, run your SPO Management Shell installer again.
I encounter similar issue on Windows 10 machine. Windows 10 is using 5.1 and you can't force it to run 3.0. What works for me is to run CMD in Administrator then run the MSI installer from there. That shoule install SP Management Shell Successfully without requiring 3.0
