-> 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.

 * 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.
