==> Installing powershell-preview from powershell/tap
==> Caveats
The executable should already be on PATH so run with `pwsh-preview`. If not, the full path to the executable is:
  /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/powershell-preview/bin/pwsh-preview

Other application files were installed at:
  /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/powershell-preview/libexec

If you also have the Cask installed, you need to run the following to make the formula your default install:
  brew link --overwrite powershell-preview

If you would like to make PowerShell Preview your default shell, run
  sudo echo '/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/powershell-preview/bin/pwsh-preview' >> /etc/shells
  chsh -s /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/opt/powershell-preview/bin/pwsh-preview
