  <p>As I ran <code>Update-help</code> I'd expect to find <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/comments/ao832d/how_to_consume_xmlrpc_web_services/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">more</a> information.</p>
  <p>perhaps add a <a href="https://github.com/mosserlee/PSClient-for-XML-RPC" rel="nofollow noreferrer">module</a>?</p>
  <p>I tried:</p>
  <pre><code>nicholas@mordor:~/powershell$ 
  nicholas@mordor:~/powershell$ pwsh hello.ps1 
  Import-Module: /home/nicholas/powershell/hello.ps1:1
  Line |
     1 |  import-module RPC-Client
       |  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       | The specified module 'RPC-Client' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.
  
  hello
  nicholas@mordor:~/powershell$ 
  nicholas@mordor:~/powershell$ cat hello.ps1 
  import-module RPC-Client 
  
  
  &quot;hello&quot;
  nicholas@mordor:~/powershell$

  <p>How do I add that into <code>powershell</code> core?</p>

  <p>but perhaps need to &quot;download&quot; it first?  Something <a href="https://community.idera.com/database-tools/powershell/powertips/b/tips/posts/installing-modules-in-powershell-core-on-linux" rel="nofollow noreferrer">like</a>:</p>
  <pre><code>sudo powershell -Command {Install-Module -Name AzureRM.Netcore}
  </code></pre>
  <p>or at least along those lines.</p>
