From ce189e41b1730683d13625a68df66d1cd5942e0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rishant Sharma <132047640+SageRish@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 09:49:46 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] docs: clarify Windows install command requires PowerShell Add a visible note under the Windows (Recommended) install section indicating the command must be run in PowerShell, not Command Prompt. The ```powershell code fence language tag is not visible when rendered on GitHub, so users running the command in cmd.exe receive a "'irm' is not recognized" error with no obvious explanation. --- README.md | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 80aa75edf7..56723edb75 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -29,6 +29,7 @@ For more installation options, uninstall steps, and troubleshooting, see the [se ``` **Windows (Recommended):** + > Run in **PowerShell** ```powershell irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex ``` @@ -43,7 +44,7 @@ For more installation options, uninstall steps, and troubleshooting, see the [se npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code ``` -2.
