Copy, paste, and run the appropriate commands to update your PATH:

cmd.exe:
    (close and reopen the terminal)

PowerShell:
    $UserPath = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'User')
    $MachinePath = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'Machine')
    $Env:Path = "${UserPath};${MachinePath}"
    (or close and reopen the terminal)

PS C:\Users\thul>

What went wrong?

It says its downloading and installing 0.32.4, but in reality when i start k9s i get 0.28.2 even after removing the k9s.exe from the bin directory. I have removed it, tried to run k9s, got an error that it didn't exist. Good, reinstalled it and expecting 0.32.4, but got 0.28.2 instead

Note, this is using cmd.exe cause powershell refuses to install anything for me (different bug posted)

Which OS did you try on?

Same as #832.

The latest Windows 11 PowerShell has a new security policy which blocks users from running unsigned scripts by default.

Investigating...

The current workaround is this:

Run webi from PowerShell Classic or cmd.exe

Do NOT run webi from PowerShell Core

I'm investigating how to support PowerShell Core and PowerShell Classic at the same time, but it's not looking good.
