Description
I was trying to build PowerShellEditorServices on my machine with the following $PSVersionTable:
Name Value
---- -----
PSVersion 6.0.1
PSEdition Core
GitCommitId v6.0.1-235-g3f7494e5435bd776ad04ef426c00874410924486
OS Microsoft Windows 10.0.16299
Platform Win32NT
PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...}
PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.3
SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1
WSManStackVersion 3.0
Install-Module not found
Due to self-hosting on PSCore6, there was no Install-Module cmdlet. It might be worth having a note somewhere (possibly here or in the PowerShell README?) to make sure people use Start-PSBuild -PSModuleRestore when building PSCore6 and get the PowerShellGet module.
Invoke-Build: IsBypassed not supported error
Then at the step where Invoke-Build is used, I got the following error:
PS> Invoke-Build Build
Build Build C:\Users\roholt\Documents\PowerShellEditorServices\PowerShellEditorServices.build.ps1

I needed some trial and error to work out that I just needed to be running an administrator session. For the sake of completeness, there is a fixed dotnet-cli issue that looks like this, but we only need administrator privileges here.
PowerShell snippets in README
Also, the PowerShell snippets in the instructions are inconsistent about giving a prompt and we should make them agree. Not including a prompt makes copy-pasting easier, but including a prompt gives more information on where the user should be executing commands. The ideal is including the prompt and having it unselectable -- GitHub does this in their SSH key pages using ::before in CSS, but that can only be set once. It may not be possible in GitHub Markdown, but I've put an attempt below that doesn't work in preview, but may be a start.
PS C:\path\to\dir> Invoke-Command "do something"
Filing this as an issue chiefly to document it for anyone else who encounters problems but also for discussion.
