Hi RashmiVSharan,

 

Regarding the use of the PnP PowerShell library in the Linux platform, I believe it's https://www.erwinmcm.com/cross-platform-pnp-powershell. Basically, the CSOM library used by PnP is not supported in PowerShell Core.

Maybe you could use a Docker instance to access the files from a 'Windows context'? That way, you could use the PnP Powershell from your Docker instance and be able to connect successfully.

 

Let me know if you need any help.

Regards,

    Carlos_Marins  Hi  Carlos,

    Thank You for your quick response.

    Will I be able to use PnP Sharepoint On Linux Platform after the installation of   O365 CLI  https://pnp.github.io/office365-cli/https://pnp.github.io/office365-cli/

    As the above link state that after installation in any other platform it will work.

     

    If not?? Could You please guide me which APi (CSOM/Rest API,PnP)  can be used in Powershell in Linux Platform.

      HeyRashmiVSharan

       

      I haven't worked with the O365 CLI yet, but yeah you might be right. It seems to work with Linux platforms too. If that's the case, then I suggest you use it. Let me know if it doesn't work so we can work out a better solution for your problem.
