If you want to run a Powershell script (.ps1) on your device, you can do that in the following ways depending upon the OS that you are on.
On Mac (macOS)
- Open Terminal (type 'Terminal' in Spotlight search and press enter)
- Now Type:
pwsh ./path/to/your/powershell/script.ps1
- The script will get executed.
On Windows
- Open PowerShell (type 'PowerShell' in the Start menu and press Enter)
- Now, navigate to the directory containing your PowerShell script using the `cd` (Change Directory) command:
cd C:\path\to\your\script\directory
- Execute your PowerShell script using the `.\` prefix to specify the current directory:
.\powershell-script.ps1
- The script will get executed.
On Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, etc.)
- Open a terminal (You can find the terminal application in your applications menu)
- Navigate to the directory containing your PowerShell script using the cd (Change Directory) command:
cd /path/to/your/script/directory
