If you would like to have handy tab completion for Docker commands, you can install the <a href="https://github.com/samneirinck/posh-docker">posh-docker</a> PowerShell Module as follows.

1. Start an "elevated" PowerShell (i.e., run it as administrator).

To do this, search for PowerShell, right-click, and choose **Run as administrator**.<br>


<br><br>

When asked if you want to allow this app to make changes to your device, click **Yes**.

2. Set the [script execution policy](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/reference/5.1/microsoft.powershell.security/set-executionpolicy) to allow downloaded scripts signed by trusted publishers to run on your computer. To do so, type this at the PowerShell prompt.

<br>

`Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned`

<br>

To check that the policy is set properly, run `get-executionpolicy`, which should return `RemoteSigned`.

<br>

3. To enable auto-completion of commands for the current PowerShell only, type:

`Import-Module posh-docker`

4. To make tab completion persistent across all PowerShell sessions, add the command to a `$PROFILE` by typing these commands at the PowerShell prompt.

Install-Module -Scope CurrentUser posh-docker -Force

Add-Content $PROFILE "`nImport-Module posh-docker"

This creates a `$PROFILE` if one does not already exist, and adds this line into the file:

`Import-Module posh-docker`

<br>

To check that the file was properly created, or simply edit it manually, type this in PowerShell:

`Notepad $PROFILE`

Now, when you press tab after typing the first few letters, Docker commands such as `start`, `stop`, `run`, and their options, along with container and image names should now auto-complete.
