Where is Microsoft.AnalysisServices.dll

I'm trying to work through some examples working with Analysis Services Management Objects (AMO), specifically some of this content:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345093.aspx

These reference some objects in the Microsoft.AnalysisServices namespace which it says resides in the Microsoft.AnalysisServices.dll, but I can't find it in either the framework or extension references. I found an unclear reference to c:\Program Files\Microsoft Sql Server\<version>\sdk\assemblies but it's not there either.

Can anyone direct me to where I can find this assembly and/or how to download/install it?

I found it here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\120\SDK\Assemblies

This is from a 2014 developer install. If its not there you have to rerun setup and choose Analysis Services.
