get-service: The term 'get-service' is not recognized
as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included,
verify that the path is correct and try again.
If you are using PowerShell on a Mac running on macOS and you try to make use of the Get-Service or any *-Service commands, you will get an error saying it is not recognized, that is because this cmdlet only supports Windows Operating Systems and not PowerShell for macOS.
Alternatively you can try running the below command.
Get-Command -CommandType Cmdlet
Other options: Alias, Application, Configuration, Filter, Script, All, Cmdlet, ExternalScript, and Function.
