OK so I've ran Invoke-OpenConsoleBuild and the build is done:

Build succeeded.

What do I run? I'm not familiar with .net, or VS solutions and the README doesn't say.

Note the README does say

make sure you're building & deploying CascadiaPackage in Visual Studio

But I (and many others) have no idea how to do this (or why, since we already just built the app in powershell per the instructions).

It seems like there's a command missing in the powershell instructions, which tells us how to either a) install or b) run the Terminal.

Assuming you have Visual studio installed, right click on CascadiaPackage from Solution explorer and click Deploy. Then you will find Windows Terminal(Dev Build) in your Start Recently Added apps

@nntantidakis Thanks. But that seems to do an unnecessary second build - we've already followed the powershell instructions (Invoke-OpenConsoleBuild) which built the app, per the README. Is there a way I can deploy the app from powershell?

There's a bit more discussion on the topic in #855 - let's keep the discussion to that thread.
