PowerShell

PowerShell is an open-source automation and configuration management platform available for Linux. It provides a command-line shell and an associated scripting language for carrying out automation and configuration tasks. The software is listed in MirrorNest’s Developer Tools category for users working with these kinds of tasks on Linux.

The shell and scripting language are the central parts of PowerShell. Its command-line design allows users to work with commands and scripts instead of relying on a graphical interface. PowerShell is cross-platform in its broader design, supporting Windows, Linux, and macOS, while this catalog entry is specifically for Linux.

PowerShell is suited to developers and other users who need automation or configuration management capabilities. These uses can help organize command-based work and express configuration tasks through scripts. Its open-source license identifies the terms under which the software is made available.

MirrorNest mirrors the official PowerShell build directly on its own storage. The mirrored file is scanned for malware before it is published in the catalog. This distribution setup places a Linux build of an open-source Developer Tools product in the catalog while retaining a direct connection to the official build.
