Does anyone know of a way I can run a powershell within Visual Studio.
By that I mean, have an interactive powershell prompt in a tool window?

Visual Studio Code with the PowerShell extension is the recommended editor for writing PowerShell scripts. It supports the following PowerShell versions: PowerShell 7.0 and higher (Windows, macOS, and Linux)
Start in Visual Studio Open Visual Studio. On the menu bar, select Tools > Command Line > Developer Command Prompt or Developer PowerShell.
Once it is saved as a PS1, VS Code will identify the file as a PowerShell script. From there, you can execute the PowerShell script by press F5 . You can also click the Run button on the top right of the editor. To run a select, you can press F8 or right click on the selection and click the Run Selection option.
The NuGet Package Manager has a NuGet Package Manager Console which is a PowerShell host. Open the console by clicking Tools > Library Package Manager > Package Manager Console.
The package manager is automatically installed in Visual Studio 2010 when you install ASP.NET MVC 3. You can install ASP.NET MVC 3 using the Microsoft Web Platform Installer. You can also install NuGet by using the Visual Studio Extension Manager.
Quoted from the ASP.NET web site:
ASP.NET MVC 3 automatically installs and enables NuGet as part of its setup. NuGet is a free open-source package manager that makes it easy to find, install, and use .NET libraries and tools in your projects. —http://www.asp.net/mvc/mvc3#overview
