# Installing Windows PowerShell
Windows PowerShell comes installed by default in every Windows, starting with Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

PowerShell comes installed by default in every Windows,
starting with Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

Linux, macOS, and Windows users that would like to install **PowerShell 6** (beta),
in their machines, need to:

1. Get PowerShell for the specific OS and version, from [GitHub](https://github.com/powershell/powershell#get-powershell)
1. Follow the installation instructions
- [Linux](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/docs/installation/linux.md)
- [macOS](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/docs/installation/macos.md)
- [Windows](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/docs/installation/windows.md#msi)

PowerShell 6 is also available for Docker;
see [Docker installation](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/tree/master/docker) instructions.
If you are interested in PowerShell 6 and later, you need to install PowerShell Core instead of Windows PowerShell. For that, see [Installing PowerShell Core on Windows](Installing-PowerShell-Core-on-Windows.md).
