So here's what you have to do:
Install the pre-requisites for the PowerShell on Linux.
The PowerShell package is dependent on two other Debian packages: libunwind8 and libicu55. You can install them with apt-get:
sudo apt-get install libunwind8 libicu55
In case you see error while installing libicu55, you can download it manually and install it.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/xenial/amd64/libicu55/download
http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/xenial/amd64/libicu55/download
Since PowerShell is yet not available on the Ubuntu repository, you need to download it from the GITHUB
To simplify things for you, here's the link to download it directly :
wget https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v6.0.0-alpha.9/powershell_6.0.0-alpha.9-1ubuntu1.16.04.1_amd64.deb
Once you have downloaded the package, the next step to bring alive the PowerShell on Linux by installing the binaries
sudo dpkg -i powershell_6.0.0-alpha.9-1ubuntu1.16.04.1_amd64.deb
Once installed, just type in POWERSHELL and do the magic...
