Note that the new default monospace font in VS Code and Windows Terminal also has a PL version.

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Please use this if you are paranoid about security (instead of making a permanent change for 'machine' scope).

Awesome, thank you!
Unlocking the instal.ps1 through the PowerShell didn't worked for me so if someone run into the same issue just right-click the file and check the bottom-right "Unlock" checkbox. Then you can execute the file into your PowerShell :)
