Now, this is the hardest bit, most of us are too poor to afford the latest and greatest tech and other new stuffs, but things which we can do, like installing a new program (Microsoft PowerToys, Windows Terminal and Windows Package Manager (Winget)) testing new softwares (Windows Insider Program, Apple Public Beta Program) are some ways to make us the early birds or early adopters without spending our precious...

Installing any single application: Microsoft Store and WinGet if you prefer something like apt-get. Source: about 1 year ago
2) Get winget from microsoft/winget-cli and install it manually then install Windows Terminal with it. The downside is no updates for winget itself unless you download a new version by hand. Source: about 1 year ago
This is a frontend for various Windows package managers, it does not do package management itself. You would have to investigate the specific package manager you want to use. In this case, it's using (among others) Winget which is Microsoft's package manager offering (which is fairly new, I think). Source: over 1 year ago
Consider using winget to keep the majority of your packages up-to-date. It's baked into Windows 11 and the most recent versions of Windows 10 (as far as I am aware of), it also has updating capabilities, etc. Source: over 1 year ago
Me either but you got me curious so I just checked the source code and it doesn't look like it. Yeah it only took a few minutes because the client is super simple. I didn't check the winget server side though. Source: over 1 year ago
I might as well throw in that avoiding this bullshit is another benefit to using a command line package manager. Chocolatey or Winget (though it looks like maybe Winget doesn't have an afterburner package.) For chocolatey though:. Source: over 1 year ago
Winget does almost exactly this. It detects apps that are already installed on your machine and if it can find a match in its catalog, it can upgrade it. (Of course you can install/uninstall via the tool if you have a fresh box). `winget upgrade —-all` from a command line (assuming your Windows is reasonably up-to-date, otherwise, https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli to get the latest release manually). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
Winget: MS's official package manager (available via windows store) but it's also the youngest of the three. This is what I've been using exclusively since earlier this year, because most of what I've been using was supported at that point. Minor annoyance eliminated, can be used in any shell. Note: You won't always instantly have the latest updates, they can be behind by about 1-2 days. Source: over 1 year ago
It depends on what you mean by "install" exactly. If you want to appear in the windows installed program list, then chocolately, scoop, winget, or building your own MSI are the way to go (WIX, or other more modern or paid tools...but be warned this is complex). If you just want them to be able to run it (and in the %PATH%) then a simple copy operation is sufficient with perhaps a command-line option to add itself... Source: over 1 year ago
