powershell-core (Install) 7.6.2

Update status chocolatey/DarwinJS

PowerShell Core is the open source multiplatform version of PowerShell

After v7.4.5 - if a non-chocolatey installed powershell is detected, you must use -force to overwrite it. -force also now works properly to reinstall the same version even when the previous install was chocolatey.

Preview releases are under the package id powershell-preview so that they can be safely installed and maintained side-by-side with the release versions on production systems. Preview versions do not become the default powershell core edition on a system (unless they are the ONLY edition), if you have a preview version installed, access it via pwsh's '-pre' switch.

This package automatically does verbose MSI logging to %temp%(packagenameandversion).MsiInstall.log

Some helpful install options (any of them can be combined - delimited by space):
