```sh
cd ../TypeCatalogGen
dotnet restore
dotnet run ../Microsoft.PowerShell.CoreCLR.AssemblyLoadContext/CorePsTypeCatalog.cs powershell.inc
dotnet run ../System.Management.Automation/CoreCLR/CorePsTypeCatalog.cs powershell.inc
```

The file `powershell.inc` is generated by running a custom MSBuild target,
which can be found at [`build.sh`](../../build.sh#L15).
which can be set-up by navigating to the `src` directory and running the following commands:

```sh
targetFile="Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK/obj/Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK.csproj.TypeCatalog.targets"
cat > $targetFile <<-"EOF"
<Project>
<Target Name="_GetDependencies"
DependsOnTargets="ResolveAssemblyReferencesDesignTime">
<ItemGroup>
<_RefAssemblyPath Include="%(_ReferencesFromRAR.ResolvedPath)%3B" Condition=" '%(_ReferencesFromRAR.Type)' == 'assembly' And '%(_ReferencesFromRAR.PackageName)' != 'Microsoft.Management.Infrastructure' " />
</ItemGroup>
<WriteLinesToFile File="$(_DependencyFile)" Lines="@(_RefAssemblyPath)" Overwrite="true" />
</Target>
</Project>
EOF
dotnet msbuild Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK/Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK.csproj /t:_GetDependencies "/property:DesignTimeBuild=true;_DependencyFile=$(pwd)/src/TypeCatalogGen/powershell.inc" /nologo
```

`powershell.inc` contains the resolved paths to the DLLs of each dependency of PowerShell,
and is taken as input to the [`TypeCatalogGen`](../../src/TypeCatalogGen) tool,
which generates a source file `CorePsTypeCatalog.cs` for the `Microsoft.PowerShell.CoreCLR.AssemblyLoadContext` project.
