PowerShell

This is the snap for PowerShell, "PowerShell for every system". It works on Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, and other major Linux distributions.

Install

sudo snap install powershell --classic

sudo snap install powershell-preview --classic

(Don't have snapd installed?)

Known Issues

• Ubuntu 20.04 is not working with the powershell package.
  • The work around is to use the powershell-preview package.
• Some native libaries cause incompatible libarires to be loaded. Because the snap file system the readonly, there is no real workaround for this.
  • libmi always causes for this type of issue and is responsible for:
    • PowerShell remoting commands that don't invole -Hostname

Alias Troubleshooting

• Run whereis pwsh-preview if, /snap/bin/pwsh-preview is not returned, Snap has not created the alias.
• If Snap has created the alias, and it is not working, you may need to reboot (or logout and back in) before it will work.
• If Snap has not created the alias, you can create the alias with sudo snap alias <packagename> <aliasname>
