Package installation instructions
Supports Ubuntu 14.04, CentOS 7.1, and OS X 10.11. All packages are available on our GitHub releases page.
Once the package is installed, run powershell
from a terminal.
Ubuntu 14.04
Using Ubuntu 14.04, download the Debian package powershell_6.0.0-alpha.7-1_amd64.deb
from the releases page onto the Ubuntu machine.
Then execute the following in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install libunwind8 libicu52
sudo dpkg -i powershell_6.0.0-alpha.7-1_amd64.deb
Please note that Ubuntu 16.04 is not yet supported, but coming soon!
CentOS 7
Using CentOS 7, download the RPM package powershell-6.0.0_alpha.7-1.x86_64.rpm
from the releases page onto the CentOS machine.
Then execute the following in the terminal:
sudo yum install powershell-6.0.0_alpha.7-1.x86_64.rpm
Please note that we have not tested this package on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
OS X 10.11
Using OS X 10.11, download the PKG package powershell-6.0.0-alpha.7.pkg
from the releases page onto the OS X machine.
Either double-click the file and follow the prompts, or install it from the terminal:
sudo installer -pkg powershell-6.0.0-alpha.7.pkg -target /
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.
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 is respected.
There is a symlink created from
/usr/bin/powershell
to/opt/microsoft/powershell/powershell
to ensurepowershell
is in your path.
