PowerShell Getting started with PowerShell Installation or Setup
Example
Windows
PowerShell is included with the Windows Management Framework. Installation and Setup are not required on modern versions of Windows.
Updates to PowerShell can be accomplished by installing a newer version of the Windows Management Framework.
Other Platforms
"Beta" version of PowerShell 6 can be installed on other platforms. The installation packages are available here.
For example, PowerShell 6, for Ubuntu 16.04, is published to package repositories for easy installation (and updates).
To install run the following:
# Import the public repository GPG keys curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | sudo apt-key add - # Register the Microsoft Ubuntu repository curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/16.04/prod.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft.list # Update apt-get sudo apt-get update # Install PowerShell sudo apt-get install -y powershell # Start PowerShell powershell
After registering the Microsoft repository once as superuser,
from then on, you just need to use sudo apt-get upgrade powershell to update it.
Then just run powershell
