Supports Windows, OS X, and Ubuntu 14.04. The Linux package includes a patched copy of CoreCLR to address a bug that's not quite made it to NuGet packages.

On OS X, install by double-clicking the .pkg file and following the prompts.

On Ubuntu, install the dependencies with sudo apt-get install libunwind8 libicu52, then install the .deb file with sudo dpkg -i powershell_0.1.0-1_amd64.deb.

A symlink to the powershell executable will be placed in /usr/local/bin, while PowerShell and its runtime will be placed in /usr/local/share/powershell.

PowerShell will load modules in /usr/local/share/powershell/Modules, and will source /usr/local/share/powershell/PSL_profile.ps1. A user profile placed at ~/.powershell/profile.ps1 will also be sourced.

Windows packages are not yet supported.

These packages do not install OMI, so remoting is not supported.
