trying to connect to sharepoint site collection using Connect-PNPOnline

[BerndKroon]

I run PowerShell from an Azure session on a Mac, using Edge as a browser.

When I run the cmdlet:

Connect-PnPOnline –Url https://xxxxxxxxx.sharepoint.com –Credentials (Get-Credential)

I get the request to enter credentials for user and password. Having done that, the following message is returned:

 Connect-PnPOnline: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Win32.Registry' threw an exception.

I also installed PNP module within the terminal app of MacOS, but I get exactly the same result as described above.
Is there something that I do wrong? Does anyone have a hint/tip for me how I get a connection to a SPO tenant? What I would like to do is to make a pwsh script to make some standard Lists that I use in PowerApps. I also tried, successfully, to make such lists using PowerAutomate, but I really would like to learn how to achieve the same using PowerShell.

Thank you in advance for helping me with this problem!

Hi! Unfortunately PnP PowerShell does not currently work on other OSes than Windows and only with PowerShell v5. The later multi-platform versions of PowerShell (v6 and v7) are not supported yet due to differences in the underlying .NET implementation. We are actively working on a release for .NET Core which will work with PowerShell v6, v7 on Windows, Linux and MacOS and we expect to release it within a few weeks.
