Powershell Linux Sharepoint Management

I installed powershell (pwsh) on Ubuntu 20.4. I am trying to manage some Sharepoint stuff. I did the following:

PS /home/polar> Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell

And it installed. So, I thought.

I cannot access any commands, such as Get-SPOSiteDesign, etc.

I list the modules I have:

PS /home/polar> Get-Module -ListAvailable

From the following result, it seems the problem is that there are not any ExportedCommands from the Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell package.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer

The Sharepoint module is for Windows PowerShell Edition and not for PowerShell Core Edition :

PSEdition
---------
Desk

Desk = Windows PowerShell

Core = PowerShell Core

In other terms, the Sharepoint doesn’t work on Linux.
