Windows: stores PATH in the registry.

Where is the PATH managed?

Mac & Linux: stores PATH in `~/.config/envman/PATH.sh`

- **Windows 10**: stores `PATH` in the registry.
 | 
			
		||||
- **Mac** & **Linux**: stores `PATH` in `~/.config/envman/PATH.env`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Note for **Windows 10** users: due to differences in how `cmd.exe`, PowerShell, and `pathman` use and interpret strings, spaces, paths, and variables, you'll get more consistent results if you:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
- Use `~` rather than `%USERPROFILE%` or `$Env:USERPROFILE`
 | 
			
		||||
- Use `/` rather than `\` for delimiting paths
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
## Install
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**Mac**, **Linux**:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```bash
 | 
			
		||||
curl -s https://webinstall.dev/pathman | bash
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**Windows 10**:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
This can be run from `cmd.exe` or PowerShell (`curl.exe` is a native part of Windows 10).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```bash
 | 
			
		||||
curl.exe -sA "MS" https://webinstall.dev/pathman | powershell
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
