PowerShell - Cross-Platform PowerShell

You run this script in PowerShell on Linux:

pwsh
$process = Get-Process -Name "bash"
Write-Output $process.Id

But it returns an error: "Get-Process: The term 'Get-Process' is not recognized." What is the likely cause?

APowerShell is not installed correctly on Linux

BYou are running the script in the Linux shell, not inside PowerShell

CThe process 'bash' does not exist

DGet-Process cmdlet is not available on Linux PowerShell

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze the error message
The error says 'Get-Process' is not recognized, which usually means the command is run outside PowerShell.
Step 2: Understand environment context
If you run PowerShell commands in the Linux shell (bash), they won't work. You must be inside PowerShell (started with pwsh) to run Get-Process.
Final Answer:
You are running the script in the Linux shell, not inside PowerShell -> Option B
Quick Check:
Run PowerShell cmdlets inside pwsh shell [OK]

Quick Trick: Run PowerShell commands only inside pwsh shell, not bash [OK]
