Manual

For people who are allergic to package managers.

NOTE: By not installing Winfetch via a package manager, you will not be able to automatically update Winfetch. Each time a new version is released, you will have to go through these steps again.

Using git

First, clone this repository:

$ git clone [email protected]:lptstr/winfetch.git winfetch

Reset the repository to the latest release:

$ cd winfetch
$ git reset --hard v0.0.0

Then, move the src/winfetch.ps1 file to somewhere on your PATH:

$ mv .\src\winfetch.ps1 ~\bin\

Using powershell

To download the script directly use:

# download development version
Invoke-WebRequest "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lptstr/winfetch/master/src/posh-winfetch.ps1" -OutFile winfetch.ps1

# download a specific version
Invoke-WebRequest "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lptstr/winfetch/v2.0.0/src/posh-winfetch.ps1" -OutFile winfetch.ps1

To execute winfetch directly without saving the file to disk use:

Invoke-WebRequest "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lptstr/winfetch/master/src/posh-winfetch.ps1" | Invoke-Expression
