Using CLI commands in cake build - Microsoft app center

Question

I am new to cake build. I want to run Microsoft appcenter command from Cake script. I tried using cake.powershell for it https://cakebuild.net/addins/powershell/

 StartPowershellFile("./appcenter.ps1"); 

// appcenter.ps1 had just CLI command for Appcenter "appcenter test run uitest --app \"5678999\" --devices \"7738\" --app-path ./iPhone.ipa --test-series \"master\" --locale \"en_US\" --build-dir /iPhone/bin/Debug"

This did not work.

I also tried

StartProcess("./appcenter.ps1");

from https://cakebuild.net/dsl/process/

Can anyone suggest or provide sample code how can I run CLI commands from cake script? I need to run CLI for Microsoft Appcenter tool.

After going through Gary's suggestions, I ended up using StartProcess:

StartProcess("appcenter", new ProcessSettings{
                    Arguments = "test run uitest 
                     --app \"MyApp\" 
                     --devices \"45678\" 
                     --app-path /TheApp.ipa  
                     --test-series \"master\" 
                     --locale \"en_US\" 
                     --build-dir /UITest/bin/Debug"
                });
