## Environment

These instructions are written assuming the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, since that's the distro the team uses.
These instructions are written assuming Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (the CI uses ubuntu-latest).
The build module works on a best-effort basis for other distributions.

The `Start-PSBootstrap` function does the following:

- Adds the LLVM package feed
- Installs our dependencies combined with the dependencies of the .NET CLI toolchain via `apt-get`
- Uninstalls any prior versions of .NET CLI
- Downloads and installs the .NET Core SDK 2.0.0 to `~/.dotnet`
- Installs build dependencies and packaging tools via `apt-get` (or equivalent package manager)
- Downloads and installs the .NET SDK (currently version 10.0.100-rc.1) to `~/.dotnet`

If you want to use `dotnet` outside of `Start-PSBuild`, add `~/.dotnet` to your `PATH` environment variable.

Congratulations! If everything went right, PowerShell is now built.
The `Start-PSBuild` script will output the location of the executable:

`./src/powershell-unix/bin/Debug/net6.0/linux-x64/publish/pwsh`.
`./src/powershell-unix/bin/Debug/net10.0/linux-x64/publish/pwsh`.

You should now be running the PowerShell Core that you just built, if you run the above executable.
You can run our cross-platform Pester tests with `Start-PSPester -UseNuGetOrg`, and our xUnit tests with `Start-PSxUnit`.
