Running PowerShell from .NET Core

Question

Is there a way to run PowerShell scripts from .net-core ?

I\'m trying to run a PowerShell script in a new .net core \'website\\api\'. From what I can tell in order

Thx for @Roman and @JamesEby.

If we can not use dotnet core 2.0 or later and we can use Process to run the PowerShell.exe in Windows.

The path is C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe and we can use Process in this code.

        var process = new Process
        {
            StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(@"C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe",
                script)
            {
                WorkingDirectory = Environment.CurrentDirectory,
                RedirectStandardOutput = true,
                CreateNoWindow = true,
            }
        };
        process.Start();

        var reader = process.StandardOutput;
        return reader.ReadToEnd();

The script value is the PowerShell Script and the reader.ReadToEnd() return the power shell output text.
