> [!IMPORTANT]
> Ubuntu comes preconfigured with a package repository that includes .NET packages, but not
> PowerShell. Using these instructions to install PowerShell registers the Microsoft repository as a
> package source. You can install PowerShell and some versions of .NET from this repository.
> However, the Ubuntu package repository has different versions of the .NET packages. This can cause
> problems when installing .NET for other purposes. For more information about these problems, see
