Using Sitecore PowerShell Extension with native PowerShell

Question

Is it possible to use Sitecore PowerShell Extension without installing Sitecore with the PowerShell that is included when you install windows.

In particular, I would like to use the Show-ListView cmdlet that comes with the Sitecore PowerShell Extension that lets you create beautiful reports as shown here and Export contents of the view in XML, CSV, JSON, HTML or Excel file will taking into account current filter and order of the items.

@Ian Graham - actually SPE runs using Windows Powershell, in fact if you don't have the right version of Powershell, some commands do not work at all. See sitecorepowershell.gitbooks.io/sitecore-powershell-extensions/… for the Prerequisites for SPE. — Richard Seal

The Sitecore PowerShell Extensions module is based upon a provider built in C# that interfaces with Sitecore through its API and has dependencies on the Windows PowerShell libraries. As noted by Richard, you'll need to make sure at minimum Windows PowerShell 3 (as right now) is installed on the server hosting Sitecore.

What I would like to know is can you use the Sitecore PowerShell Extensions on a personal windows computer that does not have the SiteCore installed

You can use the Windows PowerShell module that we include called SPE Remoting. We have examples in the book to connect to Sitecore ( with SPE installed) remotely. Under the covers it calls a web service.
