In Linux's command line, to determine whether a given program is installed and in scope, I run $ which [program name] and see whether a path is output in response.

Now, for work, I use Windows and am starting to learn PowerShell.

How can I determine from the Windows command line, or PowerShell, whether a given program is installed?

you can use `get-command` in MS Powershell – Siamand Mar 05 '18 at 16:38
Create a batch file `which.cmd` with the 2 lines `@set "file=%~$PATH:1"` and `@if defined file echo %file%`. – Ansgar Wiechers Mar 05 '18 at 17:11
