The README has been updated, but the issue for the powershell cmd persists as noted in [#320](n0-computer/iroh.computer#320). Any recommendations on how to resolve this?

```
curl -fsSL https://iroh.computer/sendme.sh | sh
```

## For Windows (Run in Powershell)
```
iwr https://iroh.computer/sendme.ps1 -useb | iex
```

And can we drop this as the script now lives in the iroh.computer repo.

I would change the release_url to
$release_url = "https://api.github.com/repos/n0-computer/iroh.computer/releases/latest" but iroh.computer repo doesnt have any releases and this script lies in that repo where it re-directs to the sendme repo.
Could you clarify what changes you're expecting me to make in this context?


$target = "windows-x86_64"
$zipFile = "sendme.zip"
$extractPath = ".\sendme"

Write-Host "Fetching latest release for $target..."
$releaseJson = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $release_url
$releaseUrl = ($releaseJson.assets | Where-Object { $_.browser_download_url -match $target }).browser_download_url

if (-not $releaseUrl) {
Write-Host "Error: No release found for $target" -ForegroundColor Red
exit 1
}

Write-Host "Downloading from $releaseUrl..."
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $releaseUrl -OutFile $zipFile

Write-Host "Extracting..."
Expand-Archive -Path $zipFile -DestinationPath $extractPath -Force

Write-Host "Cleaning up..."
Remove-Item -Force $zipFile

Write-Host "Installation complete!"

# Add the 'sendme' folder to PATH
$sendmePath = (Resolve-Path $extractPath).Path

# Add the folder to the PATH permanently (user level)
$env:Path += ";$sendmePath"
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", $env:Path, [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)

Write-Host "'$sendmePath' has been permanently added to user PATH." -ForegroundColor Green
