I'm trying to access a Windows server for the first time from my Mac using Homebrew and PowerShell. I've successfully installed Homebrew and PowerShell 7.5.2, but when I try to use the `Enter-PSSession` command, I get an error saying, 'This parameter set requires WSMan, and no supported WSMan client library was found.' I've tried entering both the IP address and the hostname of the server but still encounter the same error. Is there a workaround for this issue? I made sure I was logged in as an admin in Terminal and used `sudo` before my commands, but no luck. Any advice would be appreciated!

Instead of using PowerShell and WSMan, I'd recommend switching to SSH for remote access. It's faster, more secure, and is becoming the preferred method. You can enable the OpenSSH server on your Windows machine and disable WinRM. After that, just log in with SSH keys like everyone else! It saves you from the legacy issues with WinRM.
You might want to check out jborean's project on GitHub. It provides instructions on how to get WSMan working on your Mac. Here’s the link: https://github.com/jborean93/PSWSMan?tab=readme-ov-file. It talks about PowerShellGet, which should be included in your PowerShell version. You might need to enable the module using the command `Enable-PSWSMan -Force`, but if that doesn’t work, consider reaching out to the project's author for more guidance.
