PowerShell doesn't publish an install command for Windows anywhere we can verify, so there's nothing for us to show you. We won't invent one. It does document one for macOS and Linux — switch to that tab.
Pastes into PowerShell and installs PowerShell on your Windows machine in one step — no manual setup, no build tools. It fetches the project's own install script and runs it, which is the standard way these tools ship — worth a read if you like to know what's running.

How to set up PowerShell, step by step
- Press Win+R to open the Run dialog.
- Press Ctrl+V to paste the command you just copied.
- Press Enter. A PowerShell window will flash; the installer runs.
The command fetches the project's own installer, marks it unblocked, and runs it from memory. You do not need to save the file. If Windows asks "Do you want to allow this app to make changes?", click Yes — the installer needs to add itself to your PATH.

On mobile
PowerShell is a command-line tool, so there is no phone app for it — a phone has no shell to run it in. You'll need a desktop, or a remote shell into a machine that has one.
PowerShell is developed by its own authors. This page is an independent reference; we are not affiliated with or sponsored by the project. The command shown here was reproduced from the project's public documentation — always check the project's own documentation before running anything.
