The command-not-found module is a feedback provider plugin for PowerShell.
This feedback provider depends on the command-not-found utility,
which is often available on Linux by default,
to provide suggestions when a native command cannot be found.
bash also calls the command-not-found utility to provide suggestions when a command cannot be found.
But this feedback provider plugin does more than that,
thanks to the command-line predictor feature in PowerShell.
It also implements the ICommandPredictor interface and serves as a predictor.
When the resulted feedback contains actionable items, such as commands to run,
they will be used as predictive suggestions to streamline the user's command-line experience.
The command-not-found plugin is built on the IFeedbackProvider interface,
which is available with PowerShell 7.4.0-preview.2 or above.
To display prediction suggestions from the command-not-found,
you need PSReadLine 2.2.6 or above.
- PowerShell
7.4.0-preview.2or above - PSReadLine
2.2.6or above
PowerShell feedback providers and predictors are written in C# and registered with the PowerShell Subsystem Plugin Model. To learn more, see "How to create a feedback provider" and "How to create a command-line predictor".
Make sure the latest .NET 8 SDK is installed
and available in your PATH environment variable.
Run .\build.ps1 from pwsh to build the project.
The module will be published to .\bin\command-not-found by a successful build.
