Running PowerShell on Ubuntu

A while ago, Microsoft open-sourced PowerShell and made it cross-platform. You can download the appropriate installation package on the Releases page of that GitHub repository. For instance, if you want to install it on Ubuntu 14.04, you would download the DEB file and run these commands:

sudo apt-get install libunwind8 libicu52
sudo dpkg -i powershell_6.0.0-alpha.9-1ubuntu1.14.04.1_amd64.deb

Oh, and in case you're wondering, you can totally run it in Bash on Ubuntu on Windows 10.

It's a little confused about the cursor position, but it runs!
