As we continue our journey from Alpha releases and eventually to Beta, you can continue to download the latest releases from our GitHub repository.
However, our goal has always been to enable installation through popular existing Linux package management tools like apt-get and yum.I am pleased to announce that we have now published PowerShell Core 6.0 alpha.15 to https://packages.microsoft.com!

After registering the Microsoft repository once as superuser, from then on, you just need to use either sudo apt-get install powershell or sudo yum update powershell (depending on which distro you are using) to update it.
We plan to simultaneously publish to https://packages.microsoft.com and our GitHub repository for each new release.
