Paths
$PSHOME
is/opt/microsoft/powershell/6.0.0-alpha.9/
- User profiles will be read from
~/.config/powershell/profile.ps1
- Default profiles will be read from
$PSHOME/profile.ps1
- User modules will be read from
~/.local/share/powershell/Modules
- Shared modules will be read from
/usr/local/share/powershell/Modules
- Default modules will be read from
$PSHOME/Modules
- PSReadLine history will be recorded to
~/.local/share/powershell/PSReadLine/ConsoleHost_history.txt
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.
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.9/
,
and the symlink is placed at /usr/local/bin/powershell
.
