[Update status](https://gitlab.com/guided-explorations/microsoft/chocolatey/powershell-core/-/jobs)
[](#)[chocolatey/DarwinJS](https://chocolatey.org/profiles/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):
* Any MSI Properties the package responds to can be specified in the same way, even if not documented here.
--install-arguments='"DISABLE\_TELEMETRY=1"' -
Valid for PowerShell 7.4 and later - disables built in telemetry.
