:::info Check Environment Variable $PATH Line 4 of this install script adds the install directory %APPDATA%\devspace to the $PATH environment variable. This is only effective for the current powershell session, i.e. when opening a new terminal window, devspace may not be found.

Make sure to add the folder %APPDATA%\devspace to the PATH environment variable after installing DevSpace via Powershell. Afterwards, a reboot might be necessary.

To confirm that DevSpace is successfully installed, reboot and test via:

devspace --version

Alternatively, you can simply download the binary for your platform from the GitHub Releases page and add this binary to your PATH.
