Summary0005025: Installing powershell tutorial is no longer accurate
Description

Linux kali 4.18.0-kali1-amd64 0000001 SMP Debian 4.18.6-1kali1 (2018-09-10) x86_64 GNU/Linux

On a fresh install of kali with all updates applied, the latest powershell package has a dependency issue:

apt -y install powershell
Reading package lists...
...
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
powershell : Depends: libicu57 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

The tutorial at https://www.kali.org/tutorials/installing-powershell-on-kali-linux/ isn't accurate for the most recent versions.

Possibly a problem with pathing of the .net dependency?

See https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=5290 for the request to include powershell in Kali itself.

Hey Gunner35!

I wrote a guide a few months ago on how to install PowerShell on Kali Linux. It currently works for PowerShell and PowerShell-Preview.

You can find that here: https://www.netsecfocus.com/infosec/tools/2018/09/25/Installing_Powershell_and_Powershell_Preview_on_Kali_Linux_2018-3.html

Let me know if you have any questions!
