Powershell Toolkit on Mac

jhertzig81 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:08:01 GMT

I have powershell installed on my Macbook, I was wondering if the PowerShell toolkit will work. The documentation makes no mention of Mac compatibility. I am assuming I will need to run a Windows VM of some sort. Thoughts?

PowerShell 7 is supported natively on Mac OS. The newest NetApp toolkit also supports PowerShell 7 so you should be fine using that combination. More from Microsoft here: Installing PowerShell on macOS - PowerShell | Microsoft Docs

Can you confirm if the below dependency has a fix? I am unable to 'import-module dataontap' using pwsh on my Macbook.

Which version of the toolkit are you using?
