Of course, there are little housekeeping to do, such as download links still pointing to the older version. But, while they fix the links, you go straight to the “Release” page to individually download the file: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases
Also, on the Linux distribution side, I found out that the auto upgrade stop working. So the following steps will help you install PowerShell Core 6.0.0 in Linux Ubuntu found in the Github “How To Install” link.
Windows 10 WSL
If you have Windows 10 WSL (Ubuntu) install use the same instruction for Ubuntu 16.04:
[sourcecode language=”bash”]
# Import the public repository GPG keys
curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | sudo apt-key add –
# Register the Microsoft Ubuntu repository
curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/16.04/prod.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft.list
# Update the list of products
sudo apt-get update
# Install PowerShell
sudo apt-get install -y powershell
# Start PowerShell
pwsh
[/sourcecode]
So, in either Windows or Linux, must important is to remove/uninstall the previous version. Then, install PowerShell Core 6.0.0.
Remember
Please file any PowerShell Core issues (not Windows PowerShell) in Github at: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues
