Ubuntu linux and Office 365 / Exchange Hiri was built for the Microsoft email/calendar and task ecosystem. It is the only desktop email client for Linux that works with Exchange (2010+) or Office 365, without installing 3rd party plugins.

• Office 365 only has 2 stars on Mac because it is almost non-functional there currently. If you are running CrossOver on Mac, you will only be able to see the application if you check the box to 'Show entries for untested and known-not-to-work software under Preferences - Installer Assistant.
• I need to install office 365 on a virtual machine where I have ubunto installed. It's for school so I can't just use an alternative. But when I google it I get mixed answers, some saying office 365 can't be installed on ubuntu, only office 2010 works.

All packages are available on our GitHub releases page. After the package is installed, runpwsh from a terminal. Run pwsh-preview if you installed aPreview release.

Note

PowerShell 7 is an in-place upgrade that removes PowerShell Core 6.x.

The /usr/local/microsoft/powershell/6 folder is replaced by /usr/local/microsoft/powershell/7.

If you need to run PowerShell 6 side-by-side with PowerShell 7, reinstall PowerShell 6 using thebinary archive method.

For Linux distributions that aren't officially supported, you can try to install PowerShell usingthe PowerShell Snap Package. You can also try deploying PowerShell binaries directly usingthe Linux tar.gz archive, but you would need to set up the necessary dependencies based onthe OS in separate steps.

Support for Arm processors

PowerShell can be installed on some Linux distributions. PowerShell is dependent on .NET support ofArm. PowerShell is supported on the following distributions:

• Alpine Linux v3.11+ - .NET supports Arm64 but there is no installable package for PowerShell atthis time
• Raspbian - see the installation instructions below
• Debian v9+ - supports Arm32 and Arm64 using the Binary Archive installationmethod
• Ubuntu 20.10, 20.04, 18.04, 16.04 - supports Arm32 and Arm64 using theBinary Archive installation method

Raspbian

Currently, PowerShell is only supported on Raspbian Stretch.

CoreCLR and PowerShell will only work on Pi 2 and Pi 3 devices as other devices, likePi Zero, have an unsupported processor.

Download Raspbian Stretch and follow theinstallation instructionsto get it onto your Pi.

Installation - Raspbian

Optionally, you can create a symbolic link to start PowerShell without specifying the path to thepwsh binary.

Uninstallation - Raspbian

Installing Preview Releases

When installing a PowerShell Preview release for Linux via a Package Repository, the package namechanges from powershell to powershell-preview.

Installing via direct download doesn't change, other than the file name.

The following table contains the commands to install the stable and preview packages using thevarious package managers:

Office 365 Ubuntu 18.04

Install as a .NET Global tool

If you already have the .NET Core SDK installed, it's easy to install PowerShellas a .NET Global tool.

The dotnet tool installer adds ~/.dotnet/tools to your PATH environment variable. However, thecurrently running shell does not have the updated PATH. You should be able to start PowerShellfrom a new shell by typing pwsh.

Binary Archives

PowerShell binary tar.gz archives are provided for Linux platforms to enable advanced deploymentscenarios.

Note

You can use this method to install any version of PowerShell including the latest:

• Stable release: https://aka.ms/powershell-release?tag=stable
• Preview release: https://aka.ms/powershell-release?tag=preview
• LTS release: https://aka.ms/powershell-release?tag=lts

Dependencies

PowerShell builds portable binaries for all Linux distributions. But, .NET Core runtime requiresdifferent dependencies on different distributions, and PowerShell does too.

The following chart shows the .NET Core 2.0 dependencies that are officially supported on differentLinux distributions.

Office 365 Linux

To deploy PowerShell binaries on Linux distributions that aren't officially supported, you need toinstall the necessary dependencies for the target OS in separate steps. For example, ourAmazon Linux dockerfile installs dependencies first, and then extracts theLinux tar.gz archive.

Installation - Binary Archives

The following example shows the steps for installing the x64 binary archive. You must choose thecorrect binary archive that matches the processor type for your platform.

• powershell-7.1.3-linux-arm32.tar.gz
• powershell-7.1.3-linux-arm64.tar.gz
• powershell-7.1.3-linux-x64.tar.gz

Linux

Uninstalling binary archives

Paths

• $PSHOME is /opt/microsoft/powershell/7/
• User profiles are read from ~/.config/powershell/profile.ps1
• Default profiles are read from $PSHOME/profile.ps1
• User modules are read from ~/.local/share/powershell/Modules
• Shared modules are read from /usr/local/share/powershell/Modules
• Default modules are read from $PSHOME/Modules
• PSReadLine history is recorded to ~/.local/share/powershell/PSReadLine/ConsoleHost_history.txt

The profiles respect PowerShell's per-host configuration, so the default host-specific profilesexists at Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 in the same locations.

PowerShell respects the XDG Base Directory Specification on Linux.
