Winget
Install apps from the terminal — already built into Windows.
Winget is Microsoft's package manager: search, install, and update everyday apps from a command line. It ships with Windows 11.
Start here before adding Scoop or Chocolatey. For a single PC, winget is usually enough.
Why it's here
- Built into Windows 11
- Huge catalog of mainstream apps
- Simple install and update commands
- The default before you add another package manager
