In this blog post, we examine setting up WSL<\/strong> (Windows Subsystem for Linux<\/em>) “Bash with PowerShell Core<\/strong>” in PrimalScript’s<\/strong> “Console Window<\/strong>” list.<\/p>\n

\"HowToPSCore_01_2018-01-16_9-40-55\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Prepare Bash File<\/h3>\n

In order to open PowerShell Core in Linux, the bash shell needs to be open and pwsh should be run from the console. So, a bash file needs to be created to call Powershell Core.<\/p>\n

1. In Windows 10 (Build 16299 or higher), from the start menu, open the Ubuntu Bash console.<\/p>\n

\"BashPSCore_00_2018-01-16_18-24-37\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Use a Linux text editor (emacs24<\/strong> or vim<\/strong>) to create the following bash file as “pwsh-nonAdmin<\/strong>“, and save the file:<\/p>\n

“pwsh -NoExit -Command Remove-Module PSReadLine”<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"BashPSCore_01_2018-01-16_18-24-37\"<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Test by executing the Linux bash file \u201cpwsh-nonAdmin<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

“bash \/home\/maxt\/pwsh-nonAdmin<\/span><\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\"BashPSCore_01a_2018-01-16_18-24-37\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Adding the Bash file to PrimalScript<\/h3>\n

Follow the same steps from this blog post:
\nSAPIEN Tools – How to work with PowerShell Core in PrimalScript<\/a><\/p>\n

In this case, I’ve selected my SAPIEN Technologies folder to save this DOS batch file*. Then, I manually entered this line in the \u201cCommand Line<\/strong>\u201d field for the “New Shell<\/strong>“:<\/p>\n

“bash \/home\/maxt\/pwsh-nonAdmin<\/span><\/strong>”<\/p>\n

*Note: Make sure to select a folder where this file is safely stored<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Then, follow the same steps from the previous blog<\/a> to rename, save, restart, and test the command shell in PrimalScript’s<\/strong> \u201cConsole Window<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Additional Tips<\/h3>\n

It is recommended to setup a second PowerShell Core to execute as “Administrator<\/em>“, so the bash file may include the following line:<\/p>\n

“sudo pswh -NoExit -Command Remove-Module PSReadLine<\/span><\/strong>”<\/p>\n

In the event that cross-platform script files are created, execute the Linux command “dos2unix<\/strong>” within Linux. This command will convert text files with DOS (or Mac) line breaks to Unix line breaks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
