The idea behind this is to install a Linux OS into your mobile and install powershell into the OS.

Step 1 – Install and Run Userland.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Setp 5 – Install wget
sudo apt-get install wget

Step 6 – Create a folder
mkdir ps
cd ps

Step 7 – Download latest release from https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/,
be sure to choose a powershell-xxx-linux-arm64.tar.gz.

wget https://github.com/powershell/powershell/relases/download/download/v7.0.3/powershell-7.0.3-linux-arm64.tar.gz

Step 8 – extract the files from tar.gz
tar -xzvf powershell-7.0.3-linux-arm64.tar.gz

Step 9 – Additional tools needed for this.
sudo apt-get install libunwind8 icu-devtools

Step 9 – type in ./pwsh in the /ps directory to run powershell.

Step 10 (optional) – Adding in PATH variable permanently.
Install file editor
sudo apt-get install nano

Verify the PATH of pwsh directory
sudo find / -name pwsh

sudo nano ~/.Profile

Add in PATH=$PATH:/home/username/ps at the bottom of the page
