    3. **Wait for Installation to Complete**: The installation process may take some time depending on your internet connection speed. Let it run until completion.

    4. **Copy Installation Path**: Once the installation is complete, it will provide you with a path. Copy this path as you'll need to add it to your user environment variables.

    5. **Add Path to Environment Variables**:
    - Right-click on the Start button and select "System".
    - In the System window, click on "Advanced system settings" on the left sidebar.
    - In the System Properties window, click on the "Environment Variables..." button.
    - In the Environment Variables window, under "User variables for [YourUsername]", find the "Path" variable and select it.
    - Click on the "Edit..." button.
    - In the Edit Environment Variable window, click on "New" and paste the path you copied from the installation process.
    - Click "OK" on all open windows to save your changes.

    6. **Close and Reopen Powershell**: Close the Powershell window and open a new one.

    7. **Verify Installation**: In the new Powershell window, type `poetry --version` and press Enter. If Poetry has been successfully installed, you should see its version number printed in the terminal.

    You have now successfully installed Poetry on your Windows system. You can start using it for managing your Python projects.
