Hi, everyone.

2
00:00:06,410 --> 00:00:09,110
My name is Jeff Hicks, and welcome to my course,

3
00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:11,930
Installing and Running PowerShell.

4
00:00:11,930 --> 00:00:16,450
I'm a veteran IT pro and longtime PowerShell author, teacher, and mentor.

5
00:00:16,450 --> 00:00:20,520
I'm excited to tell you all about my latest project for Pluralsight.

6
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,330
This course is designed to introduce you to the world of PowerShell

7
00:00:24,330 --> 00:00:26,940
and to get you started off on the right foot.

8
00:00:26,940 --> 00:00:27,710
Specifically,

9
00:00:27,710 --> 00:00:33,080
this course is targeted towards PowerShell 7 and later running on Windows.

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,890
I'm assuming you're completely new to PowerShell and are just

11
00:00:35,890 --> 00:00:39,380
beginning your PowerShell education, although you might be someone

12
00:00:39,380 --> 00:00:42,270
with a little Windows PowerShell experience curious about PowerShell

13
00:00:42,270 --> 00:00:46,220
7. This course could work for you as well.

14
00:00:46,220 --> 00:00:48,460
In this course, you'll learn how to install and

15
00:00:48,460 --> 00:00:51,520
begin using PowerShell 7 on Windows.

16
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,740
First, you'll explore what exactly is PowerShell and why it should matter to you.

17
00:00:56,740 --> 00:01:00,390
Next, you'll learn how to install it on a Windows 10 desktop.

18
00:01:00,390 --> 00:01:05,040
Finally, you'll learn how to begin using PowerShell and run basic commands.

19
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,900
By the end of the course,

20
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:09,110
you should be able to understand the role of PowerShell,

21
00:01:09,110 --> 00:01:13,530
understand command terminology, such as cmdlet versus function, install

22
00:01:13,530 --> 00:01:18,330
PowerShell, run PowerShell interactively, customize a PowerShell console in

23
00:01:18,330 --> 00:01:22,420
Windows, navigate a PowerShell console, and much more.

24
00:01:22,420 --> 00:01:23,800
When you're finished with the course,

25
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,990
you'll have the skills and knowledge of PowerShell 7

26
00:01:25,990 --> 00:01:37,000
necessary to begin learning about how PowerShell works and how to use it in your daily work.
