> Note that because OS X is a derivation of BSD, instead of `/opt`, the prefix used is `/usr/local`.

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`
* `$PSHOME` is `/opt/microsoft/powershell/6.0.0-alpha.8/`
* Default profiles will be read from `$PSHOME/profile.ps1`.
* Default modules will be read from `$PSHOME/Modules`
The profiles respect PowerShell's per-host configuration, so the default host-specific profiles exists at `Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1` in the same locations.
The profiles respect PowerShell's per-host configuration,
so the default host-specific profiles exists at `Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1` in the same locations.
On Linux and OS X, the [XDG Base Directory Specification][xdg-bds] is respected.
> There is a symlink created from `/usr/bin/powershell` to `/opt/microsoft/powershell/powershell` to ensure `powershell` is in your path.
Note that because OS X is a derivation of BSD,
instead of `/opt`, the prefix used is `/usr/local`.
Thus, `$PSHOME` is `/usr/local/microsoft/powershell/6.0.0-alpha.8/`,
and the symlink is placed at `/usr/local/bin/powershell`.
