Installing PowerShell Core on Raspbian Buster

Installing PowerShell Core on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian Buster might seem like a weird idea at first, but if it's possible, why not? ;)

Due to different processors (and Microsoft's apparent lack of interest) it only works on Raspberry Pi 2/3, not on Zero, or Zero W, not even on a 3B+. Also, note that Raspbian support is "experimental"...

The official documentation is a bit outdated, talking about Raspbian Stretch, and the installation commands are for an older version of PowerShell Core, so check here and adjust wget and tar commands accordingly for the latest version. At the time of writing it is 6.2.3

The list of commands looks more like a subset of what you get on Windows 10, but the essentials are all there.
