From a terminal, run the following command:

curl https://releases.dagger.io/dagger/install.ps1 -OutFile install.ps1 ; ./install.ps1; rm install.ps1

We try to move the dagger binary under C:\Windows\System32 but in case use missing the necessary permission we'll save everything under <your home folder>/dagger

You can generate an auto completion script using dagger completion <your shell>

Depending on your shell, add the output script belong your other completions' script.
