CMD works, but PowerShell can't find the path properly.

I followed this guide https://leetschau.github.io/autojump-in-windows-console.html and added these lines to bin/autojump_math.py:78-88:

sep = '\\\\' if os.sep == '\\' else os.sep
regex_no_sep = '[^' + sep + ']*'
regex_no_sep_end = regex_no_sep + '$'
regex_one_sep = regex_no_sep + sep + regex_no_sep

And I also had to add the /bin folder of the repo to the Environmental variables of windows. The install script didn't cut it (maybe because I was using it in PowerShell?)

I still however can't get it to work with PowerShell, but it works on command prompt 🤷

Using python version 3.9.2.
