### Download via PowerShell
The command will download and expand the latest Sophia Script archive (`without running`) according which Windows and PowerShell versions it is run on. If you run it on, e.g., Windows 11 via PowerShell 5.1, it will download Sophia Script for `Windows 11 PowerShell 5.1`.
```powershell
iwr script.sophia.team -useb | iex
```
The command will download and expand the latest Sophia Script archive (`without running`) from the `last commit available` according which Windows and PowerShell versions it is run on.
```powershell
iwr sl.sophia.team -useb | iex
```

* Download an [archive](https://github.com/farag2/Sophia-Script-for-Windows/releases/latest) according to your Windows and PowerShell versions;
* Expand archive;
* Look through the `Sophia.ps1` file to configure functions that you want to be run;
* Place the `#` char before function if you don't want it to be run.
* Remove the `#` char before function if you want it to be run.
* Copy the whole path to `Sophia.ps1`
* On `Windows 10` press and hold the Shift key, right click on `Sophia.ps1`, and click on `Copy as path`;

### How to run the specific function(s)
* Do all steps from [Manual method](#manual-method) section and stop at setting execution policy in `PowerShell`;
* Set execution policy to be able to run scripts only in the current PowerShell session;
```powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
```
* [Dot source](https://docs.microsoft.com/ru-ru/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_operators#dot-sourcing-operator) the `Functions.ps1` file first:
```powershell
# With a dot at the beginning
. .\Functions.ps1
```
* Now you can do like this (the quotation marks required)
```powershell
Sophia -Functions
