Running PowerShell from .NET Core

问题:

Is there a way to run PowerShell scripts from .net-core ?

I'm trying to run a PowerShell script in a new .net core 'website\api'. From what I can tell in order to run PowerShell on .net we need to add the

System.Management.Automation namespace.

This isn't possible for .net core ( or I haven't found the appropriate way to add it). There are a couple of NuGet packages which are also aimed at adding this DLL to project but those aren't compatible with .net core either. Is there a way to do this on .net core ? Here are some links I've tried but none of them are .net core specific:

Referencing system.management.automation.dll in Visual Studio

The official answer is that running PowerShell Core from your own application is currently not supported. Probably the biggest issue is that .Net Core is missing AppDomain.GetAssemblies(), which might be fixed in .Net Core 1.2.

Looks like it is well supported as of .NET Core 2.0 and PowerShell 6 Beta 3 (although it was supported in Beta 1 and 2 also but not as easily), here is a link to the Host PowerShell documentation in the GitHub repo

And they give a good sample application showing it running with .NET Core 2.0 and PowerShell Core v6.0.0-beta.3 and Later:

In order to get the correct packages into my NuGet package list I did need to add powershell-core as a new NuGet repository location which was:

https://powershell.myget.org/F/powershell-core/api/v3/index.json

I could then install the NuGet packages:

install-package microsoft.powershell.sdk -version 6.0.0-rc
install-package microsoft.powershell.commands.diagnostics -version 6.0.0-rc
install-package microsoft.wsman.management -version 6.0.0-rc

All three of these dependencies were required and then I could execute the following simple PowerShell command in my asp.net core MVC Web Application:

public class PowerShellHelper
{
    public void Execute(string command)
    {
        using (var ps = PowerShell.Create())
        {
            var results = ps.AddScript(command).Invoke();
            foreach (var result in results)
            {
                Debug.Write(result.ToString());
            }
        }
    }
}

Although James Eby's answer is correct, there has been some new info that I found useful.

There is now PowerShell Core available for cross-platform use. And it is open source!

Here is some useful points from the article from Microsoft:

PowerShell now officially supports macOS and Linux, including:

• Windows 7, 8.1, and 10
• Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012 R2, 2016
• Windows Server Semi-Annual Channel
• Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, and 17.04
• Debian 8.7+, and 9
• CentOS 7
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
• OpenSUSE 42.2
• Fedora 25, 26
• macOS 10.12+

Logging

On macOS, PowerShell uses the native os_log APIs to log to Apple's unified logging system. On Linux, PowerShell uses Syslog, a ubiquitous logging solution.

SSH-based PowerShell Remoting

The PowerShell Remoting Protocol (PSRP) now works with the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol in addition to the traditional WinRM-based PSRP. Source
