Package installation instructions
Supports Ubuntu 14.04, CentOS 7.1, and OS X 10.11.
Once the package is installed, powershell will be in your path,
ready to be launched from a terminal. It will read
~/.powershell/profile.ps1 for your user profile, and
/opt/microsoft/powershell/Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 for
the host profile.
Similarly, it will search ~/.powershell/Modules and
/opt/microsoft/powershell/Modules for user and system modules.
To place PowerShell in your path, a symlink to the
/opt/microsoft/powershell/powershell executable is placed at
/usr/bin/powershell.
Ubuntu 14.04
Using a stock Ubuntu 14.04 image, download the
powershell_0.4.0-1_amd64.deb file, and then execute the following:
sudo apt-get install libunwind8 libicu52
sudo dpkg -i powershell_0.4.0-1_amd64.deb
CentOS 7.1
Using a stock CentOS 7.1 image, download the
powershell-0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm file, and then execute the following:
sudo yum install powershell-0.4.0-1.x86_64.rpm
OS X 10.11
Using an OS X 10.11 machine, download the powershell-0.4.0.pkg file,
double-click it, and follow the prompts. Or install it from the
terminal:
sudo installer -pkg powershell-0.4.0.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
profile as well.
