+To invoke Playwright CLI commands, you need to invoke a PowerShell script:
 
 ```bash
-dotnet tool install -g Microsoft.Playwright.CLI
+pwsh bin\Debug\netX\playwright.ps1 --help
 ```
 
 Playwright can install supported browsers by means of the CLI tool.
 
 ```bash csharp
 # Running without arguments will install all browsers
-playwright install
+pwsh bin\Debug\netX\playwright.ps1 install
 ```
 
 You can also install specific browsers by providing an argument:
 
 ```bash csharp
 # Install WebKit
-playwright install webkit
+pwsh bin\Debug\netX\playwright.ps1 install webkit
