Here is quick code for installation of PowerShell on Google ChromeBook Pixel when Linux support is turned on:
1 2 3 4 5 6 | sudo apt install curl gnupg apt-transport-https liblttng-ust-ctl2 liblttng-ust0 libunwind8 liburcu4 wget curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | sudo apt-key add - sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/microsoft-debian-stretch-prod stretch main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft.list' sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y powershell sudo apt-get install -f |
This will install PowerShell on your Google Chromebook Pixel in Linux mode. Once the installation is completed, you will have a working version of PowerShell on your Chromebook device. Unlike other applications, there will not be a Chrome Launcher icon for PowerShell, you instead need to launch it via a command line via a Terminal by typing “pwsh”.
Some basic PowerShell commands on Linux:
get-date [# Display current date] get-uptime [# Display server uptime] get-location [# Display present working directory] get-process [# Display running process] get-command [# Display available PowerShell commands] get-help "command" [#Show how to use the command] get-alias [# Display available aliases] history [#Show history of used commands]
There is more you can do with PowerShell on Linux — good book about use of PowerShell on Linux is PowerShell 6.0 Linux Administration Cookbook.
