PowerShell is a command line shell and scripting language from Microsoft, built for automation and system administration. The Mac edition brings the same object based pipeline that Windows admins know, so commands pass structured data rather than plain text. It suits developers, IT staff and power users who want one scripting language that behaves the same on macOS, Windows and Linux.

Key Features

  • An object based pipeline where commands hand structured data to the next step
  • Hundreds of built in cmdlets for files, processes and system settings
  • A full scripting language with functions, modules and error handling for automation
  • Remote management tools for administering other machines from your Mac
  • Access to a large gallery of community modules that add new commands
  • Runs on macOS, Windows and Linux with the same core language and syntax
