This is a PowerShell module for installing NerdFonts on your system. This module and repository does not contain the fonts themselves, but rather a way to install them on your system.
🎉 Kudos to owner of NerdFonts, @ryanoasis and the rest of the NerdFonts community! 🎉 For any issues with the fonts themselves, please refer to the NerdFonts repository. All donations on this repository will go to the NerdFonts project.
- This module is cross-platform and supports the latest LTS version of PowerShell on Windows, Linux, and macOS. This is not to be confused with Windows PowerShell. Install PowerShell by following the official installation guide.
- This module depends on the Fonts module to manage fonts on the system. This will be installed automatically when installing the module.
To install the module simply run the following command in a PowerShell terminal.
Install-PSResource -Name NerdFonts
Import-Module -Name NerdFontsTo install a NerdFont on the system you can use the following command.
Install-NerdFont -Name 'FiraCode' # Tab completion works on nameTo download the font from the NerdFonts repository and install it on the system, run the following command.
Install-NerdFont -Name 'FiraCode' -Scope AllUsers #Tab completion works on Scope tooTo install all NerdFonts on the system you can use the following command.
This will download and install all NerdFonts to the current user.
Install-NerdFont -AllTo install all NerdFonts on the system for all users, run the following command. This requires the shell to run in an elevated context (sudo or run as administrator).
Install-NerdFont -All -Scope AllUsersThe Fonts module is installed automatically as a dependency and provides the
Get-Font command for querying installed fonts on the system.
To check if a specific NerdFont is installed for the current user:
Get-Font -Name 'FiraCode*'To check across all users on the system:
Get-Font -Name 'FiraCode*' -Scope AllUsersIf the command returns results, the font is installed. If it returns nothing, the font is not installed in that scope.
Individual font files do not embed a NerdFonts release version, so there is no direct way to check whether an installed
NerdFont is outdated. To ensure you have the version bundled with the module, reinstall the font using the -Force parameter:
Install-NerdFont -Name 'FiraCode' -ForceIf the font was originally installed for all users, update it with the matching scope (requires elevated privileges):
Install-NerdFont -Name 'FiraCode' -Force -Scope AllUsersThis re-downloads and installs the font version bundled with your installed NerdFonts module, overwriting any existing
files. To pick up newer font releases, update the NerdFonts module first (Update-PSResource -Name NerdFonts if you
installed via PSResourceGet, or Update-Module -Name NerdFonts if you installed via PowerShellGet).
To uninstall a NerdFont, use the Uninstall-Font command
from the Fonts module (installed automatically as a dependency).
To uninstall a NerdFont from the current user:
Uninstall-Font -Name 'FiraCode*' # Tab completion works on nameTo uninstall a NerdFont for all users (requires elevated privileges):
Uninstall-Font -Name 'FiraCode*' -Scope AllUsersCoder or not, you can contribute to the project! We welcome all contributions.
