WSL and PowerShell integration error?

Question

linux

Hello!
We need to combine WSL and PowerShell so that cmd and powershell can use Linux commands (Ubuntu in this case), and from WSL - Windows commands! I found an article on Habré and realized that this is the best integration option found. Of all the pieces, I put together one script, but it does not work. Please see what errors are there and how to fix them and make everything work.

If needed, I can provide the script file. Tell me how to solve the problem and if there are other ways to combine, then write about them.

Answer 1

you seem to be trying to run the module code.
here https://github.com/mikebattista/PowerShell-WSL-Interop at the end of the page there is an instruction on how to run it all using files from the same repository. have you tried?
