Install PowerShell on Linux

Install PowerShell on Linux

PowerShell can be installed on different Linux distributions. Most Linux platforms and distributions have a major release each year, and provide a package manager that's used to install PowerShell. This article lists the currently supported Linux distributions and package managers.

The rest of this article is a breakdown of each Linux distribution that PowerShell supports. All PowerShell releases remain supported until either the version of PowerShell reaches end-of-support or the Linux distribution reaches end-of-life.

For the best compatibility, choose a long-term release (LTS) version.

Alpine

[!INCLUDE Alpine support]

Debian

Debian uses APT (Advanced Package Tool) as a package manager.

Raspberry Pi OS

Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspbian) is a free operating system based on Debian.

[!IMPORTANT] .NET isn't supported on ARMv6 architecture devices, including Raspberry Pi Zero and Raspberry Pi devices prior to Raspberry Pi 2.

For more information, see Install PowerShell on Raspberry Pi OS.

Community supported distributions

There are many distributions of Linux that aren't officially supported by Microsoft. In some cases, PowerShell may be supported by the community for these releases. For more information, see Community support for PowerShell on Linux.

CentOS and Fedora distributions are no longer supported. The versions of these operating systems that were supported have reached their end-of-life dates. We aren't supporting any newer versions.

Alternate installation methods

There are three other ways to install PowerShell on Linux, including Linux distributions that aren't officially supported. You can try to install PowerShell using the PowerShell Snap Package. You can also try deploying PowerShell binaries directly using the Linux tar.gz. For more information, see Alternate ways to install PowerShell on Linux.
