In this article, I’ll show you how to Install the latest PowerShell Core 6.0 beta 4 version and test it.

PowerShell Core 6.0 Is a cross platform tool for automation and configuration and can be Installed on any platform (Windows, Linux, Docker, etc).

If you Install it on Windows it won’t affect existing PowerShell version and it will be Installed as a separate application.

To get started, Download the .MSI file and Install it on your machine.

https://github.com/powershell/powershell#get-powershell

Once Installed, Start It from the programs menu and you will see that It’s using a different Installation path

To view built in module I use the cmdlet below

Get-Module -ListAvailable

And to check the PowerShell edition type I use the cmdlet below

$PSVersionTable.PSEdition

To check the version number I use

$PSVersionTable
