Installing svm on Windows

Prerequisites

.NET 4.5 is the minimum requirement for scriptcs and PowerShell 4 is a minimum requirement for the PowerShell based svm installers.

Install

Run the following command in a Command Prompt. This does NOT require the user to be an Administrator.

@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/scriptcs-contrib/svm/master/install/installer.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%USERPROFILE%\.svm\bin\;%USERPROFILE%\.svm\shims\;%PATH%

This will download the PowerShell based installer, execute the installer using PowerShell and set the PATH correctly in the Command Prompt to allow you to start using svm right away.

svm will be installed to %USERPROFILE%\.svm. Example: C:\Users\Paul\.svm

Type the following in the Command Prompt to get started:
