Supports Windows, OS X, Ubuntu 14.04, and CentOS 7.1.

Installation Instructions

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 /usr/local/share/powershell/PSL_profile.ps1 for the system profile. Similarly, it will search ~/.powershell/Modules and /usr/local/share/powershell/Modules for user and system modules.

Ubuntu

Using a stock Ubuntu 14.04 image, download the powershell_0.2.0-1_amd64.deb file, and then execute the following:

sudo apt-get install libunwind8 libicu52
sudo dpkg -i powershell_0.2.0-1_amd64.deb

CentOS

Using a stock CentOS 7.1 image, download the powershell-0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm file, and then execute the following:

sudo yum install powershell-0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm

OS X

Using an OS X 10.11 machine, download the powershell-0.2.0.pkg file, double-click it, and follow the prompts.

Supports Windows, OS X, and Ubuntu 14.04. The Linux package includes a patched copy of CoreCLR to address a bug that's not quite made it to NuGet packages.

On OS X, install by double-clicking the .pkg file and following the prompts.

On Ubuntu, install the dependencies with sudo apt-get install libunwind8 libicu52, then install the .deb file with sudo dpkg -i powershell_0.1.0-1_amd64.deb.

A symlink to the powershell executable will be placed in /usr/local/bin, while PowerShell and its runtime will be placed in /usr/local/share/powershell.

PowerShell will load modules in /usr/local/share/powershell/Modules, and will source /usr/local/share/powershell/PSL_profile.ps1. A user profile placed at ~/.powershell/profile.ps1 will also be sourced.

Windows packages are not yet supported.

These packages do not install OMI, so remoting is not supported.
