powershell is just Verb-Noun so the commands dont require memorization, you just ask powershell to Get- whatever or Set- whatever.

you don't have scrot installed.

Maybe you should ask the nearest man for his scrot?

the manual page looks like

code:

scrot(1)                    General Commands Manual                   scrot(1)

NAME
       scrot - capture a screenshot using imlib2

SYNOPSIS
       scrot [options] [file]

DESCRIPTION
       scrot  is  a  screen capture utility using the imlib2 library to aquire
       and save images.  scrot has a  few  options,  detailed  below.  Specify
       [file]  as  the  filename  to save the screenshot to.  If [file] is not
       specified, a date-stamped file will be dropped in  the  current  direc&#8208;
       tory.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
            display help output and exit.

       -v, --version
            output version information and exit.

       -b, --border
            When selecting a window, grab wm border too

       -c, --count
            Display a countdown when used with delay.

       -d, --delay NUM
            Wait NUM seconds before taking a shot.

       -e, --exec APP
            Exec APP on the saved image.

       -q, --quality NUM
            Image quality (1-100) high value means high size, low compression.
            Default: 75. (Effect differs depending on file format chosen).

       -m, --multidisp
            For multiple heads, grab shot from each and join them together.

       -s, --select
            Interactively select a window or rectangle with the mouse.

       -u, --focused
            Use the currently focused window.

       -t, --thumb NUM
            generate thumbnail too. NUM is the percentage of the original size
            for the thumbnail to be.

       -z, --silent
            prevent beeping.

 SPECIAL STRINGS
       Both the --exec and filename parameters can take format specifiers that
       are expanded by scrot when encountered.  There are two types of  format
       specifier.  Characters  preceded  by  a  '%'  are interpretted by strf&#8208;
       time(2). See man strftime for examples.  These options may be  used  to
       refer  to  the  current date and time.  The second kind are internal to
       scrot and are prefixed by '$' The following specifiers are recognised:

       $f image path/filename (ignored when used in the filename)
       $n image name (ignored when used in the filename)
       $s image size (bytes) (ignored when used in the filename)
       $p image pixel size
       $w image width
       $h image height
       $t image format
       $$ prints a literal '$'
       \n prints a newline (ignored when used in the filename)

EXAMPLE
       scrot '%Y-%m-%d_$wx$h.png' -e 'mv $f ~/shots/'
       This would create a file called something like 2000-10-30_2560x1024.png
       and move it to your shots directory.

BUGS
       None known.
