Arch PowerShell

Install Instructions

1. Install PowerShell Core

Windows

Open a classic PowerShell terminal with administrator privileges and run the following:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gabriel-vanca/Arch-PowerShell/main/Install/Core/Windows_Install_Core.ps1 | powershell

Notes:

• This will attempt to use WinGet, which comes included in Windows 11, Windows Server 2025 and latest builds of Windows 10, in order to install/update PowerShell Core.
• If WinGet is not present (for example you're running a pre-2025 Windows Server Deployment or an older Windows workstation version), the script will try to use Chocolatey instead to install PowerShell Core.
• If you'd prefer to use WinGet, you can use this other script to install it: https://github.com/gabriel-vanca/WinGet
• For workstations, Windows 10 1809+ or Windows 11 is required. For Servers, Windows Server 2012 R2 or later is required.

Ubuntu

Open a terminal and run the following with root privileges:

sudo wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gabriel-vanca/Arch-PowerShell/main/Install/Core/Ubuntu_Install_Core.sh | bash

Note: Version 18.04 or above is required.

MacOS

Open a terminal and run the following with administrator privileges:

sudo wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gabriel-vanca/Arch-PowerShell/main/Install/Core/MacOS_Install_Core.sh | bash

Note:

• The script requires Homebrew to be already installed.
• MacOS Big Sur 11.5 or later is required.

2. Install Additional PowerShell Components

Open an elevated PowerShell terminal and run the following commands in order to install the necessary PowerShell modules, Oh-my-Posh and the necessary fonts.

Invoke-RestMethod https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gabriel-vanca/Arch-PowerShell/main/PowerShell/Install/Additional_Components/Install_Additional_Components.ps1 | Invoke-Expression

3. Configure PowerShell Profile

Open a PowerShell terminal and run the following commands.

Notes:

• On Windows you need to run this from a terminal with admin privileges.
• On Linux, make sure the command is not run from the root user as in that case the theme will only be available for the root user.
