Powershell on Linux/Mac

[shivankar-madaan]

I tried installed powershell on my MAC using this doc. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/setup/installing-powershell-core-on-macos?view=powershell-6

Getting this error when I try to run the Azucar.ps1

/git/azucar> ./Azucar.ps1

[Exception][Main][286]:Internet Explorer 11 or later required. Current IE version is '0.0'.

Any idea where I'm wrong.

As it suggests it seems to rely on IE. Example would be on a Windows PC it'll set your browser default to IE and revert it to Chrome if Chrome was your default prior to running. "(Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explo.." "[Exception][Main][286]:Internet Explorer 11 or later required. Current IE version is '0.0'."

@ulv1 have you managed/tried to get running on Linux env, or windows system is mandatorily required?

@shivankar-madaan not tried, and in it's current iteration I do not see how it'd work on a Mac as one of the first things the script when called is to change your default to IE, as a Mac has no IE, it will throw the error you are getting:

[Exception][Main][286]:Internet Explorer 11 or later required. Current IE version is '0.0'.

@ulv1 do you have any experience in powershell https://github.com/nccgroup/azucar/blob/20c9cc3e5250290c221d198e641d0291d2bca209/Azucar.ps1#L274

I guess the part of code needs to be changed. Possible could you help me out.

Hi all,

Azucar uses ADAL (Active Directory Authentication Library) in order to authenticate against the Azure platform. It also takes advantage of user:password combination, MFA, etc..

Currently, Azucar has support only for Windows platforms.
