 You can override default behavior using environment variables. When installing Playwright, ask it to download browsers into a specific location:
 
 ```sh
+# Linux/macOS
 $ PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH=$HOME/pw-browsers npm i -D playwright
+
+# Windows
+$ set PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH=%USERPROFILE%\pw-browsers
+$ npm i -D playwright
 ```
 
 When running Playwright scripts, ask it to search for browsers in a shared location:
 
 ```sh
+# Linux/macOS
 $ PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH=$HOME/pw-browsers node playwright-script.js
+
+# Windows
+$ set PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH=%USERPROFILE%\pw-browsers
+$ node playwright-script.js
 ```
 
 Or you can opt into the hermetic install and place binaries under the `node_modules/` folder:
 
 ```sh
-$ PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH=0 node playwright-script.js
+# Linux/macOS
+$ PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH=0 npm i -D playwright
+
+# Windows
+$ set PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH=0
+$ npm i -D playwright
 ```
 
 Playwright keeps track of packages that need those browsers and will garbage collect them as you update Playwright to the newer versions.
