How do I download and install the Navisphere CLI Tool to Manage EMC Storage Devices?

I\'m posing this question to myself and answering it here, as I want a record of the information. Most of this information can be found in this PDF. In case the PDF goes away, I have reproduced most of it below, minus some of the screenshots.

Navisphere® CLI or NaviCLI is provided by EMC and used to manage their data storage systems.

Download the NaviCLI installer from the EMC web-site: https://powerlink.emc.com. You must have an account with EMC to login and download the software. If you have not registered on the EMC site, click the appropriate link under Create a New Account.
