Only "Direct Download" worked for my Ubuntu 18.04. Interesting!

Installation via Direct Download - Ubuntu 18.04

Download the Debian package powershell_6.2.0-1.ubuntu.18.04_amd64.deb from the releases page onto the Ubuntu machine.

Then execute the following in the terminal:

sh

sudo dpkg -i powershell_6.2.0-1.ubuntu.18.04_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

 Note

The dpkg -i command fails with unmet dependencies. The next command, apt-get install -f resolves these issues then finishes configuring the PowerShell package.
