What is the method for installing and deploying PowerShell?
To install and deploy PowerShell, you can follow these steps:
- Download the PowerShell installation program from Microsoft’s PowerShell download page (https://github.com/powershell/powershell/releases), and choose the latest version of the PowerShell installation program for your operating system.
- Run the installation program: Double-click on the downloaded installation program and then follow the prompts to complete the installation.
- Configure PowerShell Execution Policy (Optional): If you need to run scripts on your system, you can configure the execution policy by running the following command in PowerShell.
- Allow scripts that are downloaded from the internet to run
- This will allow the execution of local scripts and scripts with digital signatures downloaded from remote locations.
- Verify successful installation: In the command prompt or PowerShell, type “pwsh” (for Windows PowerShell) or “pwsh-preview” (for PowerShell Core) to launch PowerShell. If it starts successfully and displays the version information of PowerShell, it means the installation was successful.
- Deploying PowerShell scripts: When using PowerShell scripts, deployment can be done in the following ways:
- Copy the script file (with the extension .ps1) to any location on the target computer.
- Switch to the directory where the script is located using the cd command in PowerShell.
- 使用.\（点斜杠）运算符运行脚本。例如，要运行名为script.ps1的脚本，可以在PowerShell中输入.\script.ps1。
The above are the basic methods for installing and deploying PowerShell. It is important to note that there are two main versions of PowerShell: Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core. Windows PowerShell is the default version for Windows operating systems, while PowerShell Core is an open-source, cross-platform version. Choose the version that best suits your needs for installation.
