Doesn't Work on Windows

[MechoJim]

1. Installed via choco

2. Manually added fnm path to PATH

3. Installed node v14 with fnm install v14

When I try to run fnm use v14 is just gives me this error, even in a new shell:

C:\Windows\System32>fnm use v14
←[1;31merror:←[0m ←[31mWe can't find the necessary environment variables to replace the Node version.
You should setup your shell profile to evaluate fnm env, see https://github.com/Schniz/fnm#shell-setup on how to do this
Check out our documentation for more information: https://fnm.vercel.app←[0m

fnm env output:

the docs say to add the following command to the end of your powershell profile (if you're using powershell):

fnm env --use-on-cd --shell powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression

the other shell setups are listed there as well: https://github.com/Schniz/fnm?tab=readme-ov-file#shell-setup

@Aaron7897 the point is that the instructions in the https://nodejs.org/en/download home page are wrong because you can't use fnm without tweaking powershell or the cmd first.
And given that I already have my scripts there, it is not straightforward as it looks.
At least for now, this is a no-go.
