winget

Winget is a command line tool developed by Microsoft that enables users to install and manage applications on Windows 10. It simplifies the process of searching, downloading, and installing software directly from the command prompt.

With winget, users can search for applications using either the application name or a keyword related to the desired software. It utilizes a vast repository known as the Microsoft Store Catalog, which contains numerous popular applications.

The tool supports multiple installation options, allowing users to choose between installing applications silently or interactively. It also offers dependency handling for installing applications that require additional files or components.

Winget provides users with essential information about each application, including the publisher, version, and description, helping them make informed decisions. Once an application is installed, winget allows for easy management, including updating, uninstalling, and querying the installed applications.

Winget allows users to create and share their own app manifests, which specify the application properties and installation details. This feature enables developers to distribute their applications using winget, making it a convenient tool for software distribution.

Overall, winget simplifies the process of application management on Windows 10 by providing a command line interface to search, download, install, update, and uninstall software.
