Connect to Exchange from PowerShell on Linux

I tried to follow the instructions on https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/powershell/exchange/connect-to-exchange-online-powershell?view=exchange-ps, but they do not seem to work on Linux:

$ pwsh
PowerShell 7.1.0

https://aka.ms/powershell
Type 'help' to get help.

PS /home/info> Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement

PS /home/info> $O365Credential = Get-Credential

It fails because there is no way to run System.Windows.Forms on a Linux system.

Is there another way to connect to Exchange from Powershell on Linux?

Try this (tested on Linux Kali latest build) and it worked for me:

Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement -AllowPrerelease
$url = "https://github.com/jborean93/omi/releases/download/v1.2.0-pwsh/libmi-centos7.so"
$output = "/opt/microsoft/powershell/7/libmi.so"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $output
Import-Module ExchangeOnlineManagement
Connect-ExchangeOnline -Device
