Recommend installing puffin with ``` powershell -c "irm https://github.com/axodotdev/cargo-dist/releases/latest/download/cargo-dist-installer.ps1 | iex" ``` instead of ``` irm https://github.com/axodotdev/cargo-dist/releases/latest/download/cargo-dist-installer.ps1 | iex ``` to support installing on cmd.exe, the classic non-powershell windows terminal.
