OS X 10.11
==========
2016-07-27 21:55:10 +02:00

Either double-click the file and follow the prompts, or install it from the terminal:
2016-04-11 18:50:58 +02:00
```sh
2016-07-27 21:55:10 +02:00
sudo installer -pkg powershell-6.0.0-alpha.7.pkg -target /
2016-04-11 18:50:58 +02:00
```
2016-07-27 21:55:10 +02:00
> Note that because OS X is a derivation of BSD, instead of `/opt`, the prefix used is `/usr/local`.
> Thus, `powershell` lives at `/usr/local/microsoft/powershell`, and the symlink is placed at `/usr/local/bin/powershell`.
> This affects the system modules and profiles as well.
2016-08-01 22:46:48 +02:00
Paths
=====
* User profiles will be read from `~/.config/powershell/profile.ps1` .
* User modules will be read from `~/.local/share/powershell/Modules`
* PSReadLine history will be recorded to `~/.local/share/powershell/PSReadLine/ConsoleHost_history.txt`
* System profiles will be read from `/opt/microsoft/powershell/profile.ps1` .
* System modules will be read from `/opt/microsoft/powershell/Modules`
The profiles respect PowerShell's per-host configuration, so the default host-specific profiles exists at `Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1` in the same locations.
On Linux and OS X, the [XDG Base Directory Specification][xdg-bds] is respected.
2016-08-02 01:32:16 +02:00
> There is a symlink created from `/usr/bin/powershell` to `/opt/microsoft/powershell/powershell` to ensure `powershell` is in your path.
