[SOLVED] Powershell Tab Completion Setup

How does one configure powershell tab completion to work on Arch?  I start powershell from within a bash shell, I can't find a way to configure the auto-completion to work. Any ideas?

It's a bit difficult to google because any entry for powershell + linux + completion invariably jumps to how to configure powershell completion to behave like bash completion .

The closest thing I could find was enabling tab completion for .NET cli in bash. So I'd imagine it would be something like this I'd need to configure for powershell as well.

Only thing I can do is point you to the docs.

Re: [SOLVED] Powershell Tab Completion Setup

@teckk, thanks look you posted at the exact same time I edited my original post. Yes, I've read through those links previously, thanks for sharing them. None point to a way to set up completion unfortunately.

Edit: --Solved: Install powershell-bin instead to get working tab completion.
