PowerShell 学习笔记——PS On MacOS

✪ PowerShell 学习笔记--PS On MacOS ✪

1. Download the pkg setup file

You can visit Github website and find the PowerShell repo here: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell, then scroll down to "Get PowerShell" section. There is a table, find "macos 10.11" line and click "pkg" link, then download will begin.

After finishing your download, find the file in your Download folder and double click it to begin installation.

If you prefer command line tool to setup PowerShell, it's OK, here it is:

sudo installer -pkg powershell-6.0.0-alpha.16.pkg -target /

Open a terminal window, copy and paste above command, then press Enter key to run. Microsoft provides a installation instruction here: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/docs/installation/linux.md#macos-1011, read it carefully.

2. OpenSSL

To follow the instruction, you also need to setup OpenSSL because most networking functions do require OpenSSL to work properly. On the instruction page, scroll down to "OpenSSL" section, click "their instructions" link, follow the instructions to finish installing Homebrew.

Now you must go back to the macos installation instruction page and run the commands list on the page.

brew install opensslbrew install curl --with-openssl

Then for security, you need to patch .NET Core's cryptography libraries:

find ~/.nuget -name System.Security.Cryptography.Native.dylib | xargs sudo install_name_tool -add_rpath /usr/local/opt/openssl/libfind ~/.nuget -name System.Net.Http.Native.dylib | xargs sudo install_name_tool -change /usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib /usr/local/opt/curl/lib/libcurl.4.dylib

3. Try PowerShell Commands in MacOS Terminal
