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.
