How to Install Powershell via the Brew


powershell brew

First of all, we need to search for a Powershell package via the Homebrew:

Romans-MacBook-Pro-2:~ roman$ brew search --casks powershell
==> Casks
powershell                 powershell-preview         powershell6

We see powershell. Now we are sure what we need to install:

Romans-MacBook-Pro-2:~ roman$ brew cask install powershell
