The Step by Step instructions are here:

Supports Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 17.04, Debian 8, Debian 9, CentOS 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7, OpenSUSE 42.2, Fedora 25, Fedora 26, Arch Linux, and macOS 10.12.

For Linux distributions that are not officially supported, you can try using the PowerShell AppImage. You can also try deploying PowerShell binaries directly using the Linux tar.gz archive, but you would need to set up the necessary dependencies based on the OS in separate steps.

All packages are available on our GitHub releases page. Once the package is installed, run pwsh from a terminal.

https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/docs/installation/linux.md#macos-1011

Is this and new install and was install successful? How or what commands did you run to install it, meaning following the defined steps.

You do not say what you are doing that caused this error and or is this a script you wrote or downloaded and are trying to use.

Point of note PoSH Core does not have all the features of Windows PowerShell, at least not yet. So, you have to work in those confines.

If this is from the install, you'll have to remove and reinstall.

The script you are running is not compatible with MacOS. It is trying to pull in resources that are only on Windows.
