Set-PSReadLineOption: A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'PredictionViewStyle'

Question

I'm trying to change the -PredictionViewStyle option of PSReadline, but I got the error "Set-PSReadLineOption: A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'PredictionViewStyle'."

It's a fresh install and Set-PSReadLineOption -PredictionSource History works.

Any suggestion, please?

As I have an older version of PowerShell the first command (`pwsh.exe ...`) failed. Instead I opened `cmd.exe` and ran `powershell.exe -noprofile -command "Install-Module PSReadLine -Force -AllowPrerelease -SkipPublisherCheck"` and continued with the rest of the commands in a PowerShell window. – urig Jun 30 '22 at 15:35
