In powershell I have my sentences all blank I wanted to change the color of the first word to yellow just for appearance how can I do this?

I've tried using this command "Set-PSReadLineOption -Colors @{ Command = 'Yellow' }" but it gives me this error "Set-PSReadLineOption : The term 'Set-PSReadLineOption' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if the path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again."

What version of PowerShell are you using? – jfrmilner
@jfrmilner 5.1.19041.1151 – GuyPeace
You need the PSReadLine module. To install PSReadLine 2.1.0 in a supported version of PowerShell run the following command. Install-Module -Name PSReadLine -RequiredVersion 2.1.0 docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/psreadline/about/… – ExcèsRefusé
The latest version of the PSReadLine module still supports 5.1 so install that, it defaults to Yellow for CommandColor. – jfrmilner

Something like this would set the first word to be coloured yellow and the rest of the line white:

Write-Host "YELLOW" -Foreground Yellow -NoNewLine
Write-Host " the rest of the line is white" -Foreground White

Which would output: YELLOW the rest of the line is white
