Supports Windows, OS X, Ubuntu 14.04, and CentOS 7.1.

Installation Instructions

Once the package is installed, powershell will be in your path, ready to be launched from a terminal. It will read ~/.powershell/profile.ps1 for your user profile, and /usr/local/share/powershell/PSL_profile.ps1 for the system profile. Similarly, it will search ~/.powershell/Modules and /usr/local/share/powershell/Modules for user and system modules.

Ubuntu

Using a stock Ubuntu 14.04 image, download the powershell_0.2.0-1_amd64.deb file, and then execute the following:

sudo apt-get install libunwind8 libicu52
sudo dpkg -i powershell_0.2.0-1_amd64.deb

CentOS

Using a stock CentOS 7.1 image, download the powershell-0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm file, and then execute the following:
