PowerShell on Linux!?! This should be a laugh….
$ yaourt -Sy powershell-bin
Now to get started, issue the pwsh command:
[andy@home-pc ~]$ pwsh PowerShell 6.1.1 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. https://aka.ms/pscore6-docs Type 'help' to get help. PS /home/andy>
Cool! Looks like it worked! Lets test a couple of commands:
PS /home/andy> Get-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
List the processes:
PS /home/andy> Get-Process
NPM(K) PM(M) WS(M) CPU(s) Id SI ProcessName

To list the contents of a file:
PS /home/andy> Get-Content ./.bash_profile # # ~/.bash_profile # [[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc PS /home/andy>
Not sure what the point is of that given that cat works just as well!
PS /home/andy> cat .bash_profile # # ~/.bash_profile # [[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc PS /home/andy>
To list available Cmdlets:
PS /home/andy> Get-Help -Category cmdlet
Name Category Module Synopsis ---- -------- ------ -------- foreach Alias ForEach-Object % Alias ForEach-Object where Alias Where-Object ? Alias Where-Object clc Alias Clear-Content
...
PS /home/andy>
Some commands like Get-Service will not work as Linux daemons are very different to Windows “services”. Otherwise most things seem to work.
I hate to say it but its pretty cool! Not as cool as a Linux terminal obviously but hey! 🙂
