Windows Terminal - PowerShell customization via oh-my-posh/posh-git Set-Theme error?

I follow the exact tutorial of Microsoft link: Link Here video link: Video Link Here

I have installed Posh-Git and Oh-My-Posh: via this code -
Install-Module posh-git -Scope CurrentUser
Install-Module oh-my-posh -Scope CurrentUser

I have installed PSReadLine: via this code -
Install-Module -Name PSReadLine -Scope CurrentUser -Force -SkipPublisherCheck

I am also created Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 file by typing- code $PROFILE, in my PowerShell profile and copy/paste this code:
Import-Module posh-git
Import-Module oh-my-posh
Set-Theme Paradox

But I get this error:

Set-Theme Paradox
The term 'Set-Theme' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Thanks for letting us know. There's a bunch of discussion over in our documentation repository about this, so I'll have to redirect you there. Cheers!

[JustDre]

It seems the "Set-Theme" cmdlet was renamed to "Set-PoshPrompt".

[wys-wys]

It seems the "Set-Theme" cmdlet was renamed to "Set-PoshPrompt".
thank you,i have solved it

[glaucia86]

Hi! Any updates about it? I've been received the same message error!

please, read the previous comment >>> It seems the "Set-Theme" cmdlet was renamed to "Set-PoshPrompt".

[codewithiulian]

For anyone still struggliong with this issue use Set-PoshPrompt, as JustDre said above, followed by the -Theme option. Here is an example:
Set-PoshPrompt -Theme pixelrobots
I am using posh-git version 1.0.0 and oh-my-posh version 3.157.2.
Hope this helps

Yeah it did work fine. Change "Set-Theme" to "Set-PoshPrompt"

[Wineric]

I installed the latest version of oh-my-posh i.e. if you follow the guide on microsoft don't use the required version but let it install the latest.

[GeoBrodas]

Hey I'm getting this error, does anyone have a fix?

I followed the tutorial in the Terminal docs here

Hey, I had the same issue. I did Update_Module in Powershell, it will update the oh-my-posh module to lastest version (actually all modules, you can also update oh-my-posh only). Then i got no errors. Hope this works for you too.

[GeoBrodas]

Hey, thanks for the tip. It's working now!

[SubwayMan]

I was having the same issue as the users above me. I followed the tutorial as well. I believe this error occurs because a command given by the documentation installs an older version, see:
Install-Module oh-my-posh -Scope CurrentUser -RequiredVersion 2.0.412
This conflicts with the given PowerShell configuration, as it is intended for newer versions of oh-my-posh. The version installed by the tutorial command works if you switch from Set-PoshPrompt back to Set-Theme, although I would suggest following the advice given above - although a small correction is required, since the command is Update-Module instead of Update_Module.

I've tried all the above things,
but still some error.

Strangely enough, Set-Theme works.

Hi there!

It seems you're using an oh-my-posh V2 cmdlet while running V3.
To migrate your current setup to V3, have a look the documentation.

> Set-PoshPrompt Paradox
& : The term 'C:\Users\<username>\OneDrive\문서\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\oh-my-posh\3.133.1\bin\posh-windows-amd64.exe'

so I went to the mentioned site, then ran Update-Module -Name oh-my-posh -Scope CurrentUser, but nothing changed.

after I delete forcibly the "...\OneDrive\document\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\oh-my-posh" and install oh-my-posh by using choco, it works.

sorry I think it was just another path issue that doesn't relate to this issue.

It works without the -Theme flag. Do this: Set-PoshPrompt Paradox

[as-if-khan]

Just use

Import-Module posh-git
Import-Module oh-my-posh
Set-Theme Paradox

on Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 file
and enjoy.

Set-PoshPrompt -Theme Paradox work!

Hey I'm getting this error, does anyone have a fix this error ? I'm trying to fix this error since last 3 days. But i can't do this properly because I'm new here in this sector. Anybody help me.

If you are getting Set-PoshPromp is not recognised...

1. Try outputting the path of your PROFILE file in your terminal using $PROFILE
   This directory is where your PROFILE should be, create it if its not there.

2. And then write the Set-PoshPrompt -Theme the_theme_you_want script in your Microsoft.Powershell_profile.ps1 file instead of the terminal

3. Save the configuration to your Microsoft.Powershell_profile.ps1 by entering . $PROFILE in your terminal

Your prompt should now have your chosen theme applied to it.

This worked for me, hope it helps 😊

[hanskoppvi]

I have tried everything of the above but nothing worked. oh-my-posh was the only command that my powershell would find.

What worked for me is using the following command that is in this guide (I had to use the whole path to where the themes are):

oh-my-posh --init --shell pwsh --config ~\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\themes\bubblesline.omp.json | Invoke-Expression

Saved this in the Microsoft.Powershell_profile.ps1 file and it works now.

I was also missing some characters so i downloaded the cascadia-code-nerd-font (I used chocolatey for it).

choco install cascadia-code-nerd-font

And then selected it in the windows terminal go to Settings -> Profiles -> PowerShell -> Appearance -> Font face on the windows terminal

I hope this methods helps someone!

It seems the "Set-Theme" cmdlet was renamed to "Set-PoshPrompt".

THANKS A LOT )

[Maracaipe611]

I updated my ExecutionPolicy to Unrestricted and then installed the Modules Again, and finally worked!
Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted
Install-Module oh-my-posh -Scope CurrentUser
Install-Module posh-git -Scope CurrentUser
Set-PoshPrompt -Theme Paradox

[gumodi35]

Segui los pasos de actualizar el ExecutionPolicy a Unrestricted y luego instale los modulos de nuevo y sigue saliendo el error 😢

Alguna idea de como resolverlo? ❓

[EdgarIgnite16]

Hey guys! How I can update/upgrade OH-MY_POSH to the latest version?

[LeonardoCalazans]

Eu não entendo porque este aviso e o porque como admin não funciona o tema.
I don't understand why this warning and why as admin the theme doesn't work.

[DHowett]

Please file a bug on the Oh-My-Posh project. :)
