All packages are available on our GitHub releases page. After the package is installed, run pwsh from a terminal. Run pwsh-preview if you installed a Preview release.

For Linux distributions that aren’t officially supported, you can try to install PowerShell using the PowerShell Snap Package.

Installation via Package Repository – Ubuntu 20.04

PowerShell for Linux is published to package repositories for easy installation and updates.

The preferred method is as follows:

# Update the list of packages
sudo apt-get update

# Install pre-requisite packages.
sudo apt-get install -y wget apt-transport-https software-properties-common

# Download the Microsoft repository GPG keys
wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/20.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb

# Register the Microsoft repository GPG keys
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb

# Update the list of products
sudo apt-get update

# Enable the "universe" repositories
sudo add-apt-repository universe

# Install PowerShell
sudo apt-get install -y powershell

# Start PowerShell
pwsh

As superuser, register the Microsoft repository once. After registration, you can update PowerShell with sudo apt-get install powershell.
