Prerequisites: - macOS 10.13 or later - Homebrew package manager

Installation:

1. Install Homebrew if you don't already have it:

``` /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" ```

2. Install PowerShell using Homebrew:

``` brew install --cask powershell ```

3. Verify the installation:

``` pwsh ```

This will launch the PowerShell prompt if installed correctly.

Upgrading PowerShell:

1. Update Homebrew's formulae:

``` brew update ```

2. Upgrade PowerShell:

``` brew upgrade powershell --cask ```

3. Relaunch PowerShell for changes to take effect.

Usage:

- Launch PowerShell by typing `pwsh` in Terminal.

- Run PowerShell commands and scripts. For example:

``` Get-Process Write-Output "Hello World" ./myscript.ps1 ```

- Access help and documentation:

``` Get-Help Get-Command ```

- Install modules from the PowerShell Gallery:

``` Install-Module Azure Import-Module Azure ```

- Access built-in cmdlets like Get-Process, Set-Location, Get-ChildItem etc.

- Use PowerShell providers like Registry, Certificate, FileSystem etc.

- Leverage piping, objects and .NET access in PowerShell scripts.

So in summary, PowerShell on macOS provides access to the same powerful automation and scripting capabilities as on Windows, with a few easy installation steps.
