Isn't clear that Powershell has to be used for installation #82

Open avanspector opened 2 weeks ago

On deno.com and docs.deno.com/runtime it's recommended to use a scripts for Windows in order to install deno, but Powershell is not the default shell instance on Windows (and usually tends to be avoided), and those two pages don't specify in any way that Powershell has to be used (unlike this docs page).

A possible solution, to not burden a user with shell details, is to change the script to be able to be run from both CMD and Powershell:

powershell -c "irm https://deno.land/install.ps1 | iex"
