Install with the installer
The installer applies the whole setup in one run, per-user, no admin, and the font is already inside it.
Note
The installer bundles the required Nerd Font. You do not need to download or install any font separately.
1. Download
Grab the latest pwsh-terminal-setup-x.y.z-Setup.exe. The button downloads it directly; if the lookup is unavailable it falls back to the releases page.
Make sure PowerShell 7 is installed first, see Requirements. The installer checks and tells you if it's missing.
2. Run it
Double-click the downloaded .exe and follow the prompts. It sets the telemetry opt-out, installs the font, writes the profile, and patches Windows Terminal.
Note
The installer is unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may warn you on first launch. Click More info → Run anyway. See Troubleshooting if it's blocked.
3. Restart Windows Terminal
Close every Windows Terminal window and open a new one, then start a PowerShell tab. The font and prompt only apply to tabs opened after the patch.
After restarting: the configured prompt in a fresh tab.
4. Verify it worked
Run this in the new tab. You should see branch and folder icons, joined operators, and color emoji:
Write-Host "Icons: `u{e0a0} `u{f07b} Ligatures: ==> -> != >= <= Emoji: 🚀 ✅"Then press Ctrl + ← / Ctrl + → to jump word-by-word. If the icons show as boxes, the font isn't applied yet, see Troubleshooting.
Want to change the defaults?
The underlying script takes the settings as parameters, so you can set the font size, color scheme, prompt symbol, and more in one run without editing any file. See Installer options.
