Package installation instructions
=================================
Supports Ubuntu 14.04, CentOS 7.1, and OS X 10.11.
Supports [Ubuntu 14.04](Ubuntu14.04), [CentOS 7.1](CentOS7.1), and [OS X 10.11](OSX10.11).
All packages are available on our GitHub [releases][] page.
Once the package is installed, `powershell` will be in your path, ready to be launched from a terminal.
Once the package is installed, run `powershell` from a terminal.
* 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.
> Note that to place PowerShell in your path, the packages create a symlink from `/usr/bin/powershell` to the `/opt/microsoft/powershell/powershell` executable.
> There is a symlink created from `/usr/bin/powershell` to `/opt/microsoft/powershell/powershell` to ensure `powershell` is in your path.

> 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.
