Download

First, you need to download Powershell7 to replace Windows PowerShell 5.1, Powershell7 has been designed specially for cloud, local, and mixed environments. For example, it provides based SSH remote processing, Docker containers, cross-platform etc.

Recommend three main ways to acquire it:

running the command to seach available versions

winget search Microsoft.PowerShell

it will output

Name               Id                           Version   Source
-----------------------------------------------------------------
PowerShell         Microsoft.PowerShell         7.4.2.0   winget
PowerShell Preview Microsoft.PowerShell.Preview 7.5.0.2   winget

you can use id to choose

winget install --id Microsoft.Powershell --source winget
winget install --id Microsoft.Powershell.Preview --source winget

• Install Powershell7 by releases on Github

  Click and choose the latest to install,it provides MSI and ZIP.

  

Beautify

Now we install Poweshell7 successfully,but for a patient with OCD, beautifying it is necessary.

Achieving it we need to install a package Home | Oh My Posh,it provide some themes which are selected and makes your interface more colorful.

1.Open your Powershell and run this cmd

winget install JanDeDobbeleer.OhMyPosh -s winget

2.Run another amd to config environment variables

$env:Path += ";C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\bin"

path is location of on-my-posh.if your username is Chinese,it will be garbled and the environment variables will be invalid,so I advise you move it to another location and config location variables.

3.on-my-posh is compatible nerd font

open this link Nerd Fonts - Iconic font aggregator, glyphs/icons collection, & fonts patcher select one satisfying yourself and download it.After downloaded it ,click and run it to install on your PC.

            {
                "face": "MesloLGM Nerd Font"

    }
}
