Install PowerShell on Windows, macOS or Linux
PowerShell for every system!
Install PowerShell with one command
Pick your system, reveal the command, copy it, paste it into your terminal and press Enter. This command comes from the project's public source.
Not available for Windows yet.
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.

What exactly does this do?
On Windows, open PowerShell (press Win, type PowerShell, hit Enter) and paste the command. On macOS or Linux, open Terminal — on a Mac it's in Applications ▸ Utilities, or press Cmd+Space and type Terminal — and paste the command there.
Run PowerShell --help to see the available commands, and
PowerShell --version to confirm the install worked. If your shell complains about
permissions, that project usually documents a corrected command on its own site.
This is the install command PowerShell publishes. Running it downloads PowerShell and puts it somewhere your terminal can find it, so you can start using it right away.

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.
