Package installation instructions
###MSI:
To install PowerShell on Windows Full SKU (works on Win8 and above - x64 based systems), download either the MSI from AppVeyor for a nightly build,
or a released package from our GitHub releases page. The MSI file looks like this - PowerShell_6.0.0.buildversion.msi
Once downloaded, double-click the installer and follow the prompts.
There is a shortcut placed in the Start Menu upon installation.
By default the package is installed to
$env:ProgramFiles\PowerShell\You can launch PowerShell via the Start Menu or
$env:ProgramFiles\PowerShell\powershell.exe
###APPX/WSA:
Additionally, we provide APPX/WSA packages (that are compatible with Nano Server and works on Win10 x64 and above systems),
but these must be self-signed prior to install.
See the Sign-Package.ps1 script for details.
When using APPX/WSA, the OS needs to be configured to allow sideloading apps
