Install Winget in Windows 11 or 10

Winget is a Command Prompt tool to search, install, and manage software.

Winget is the client interface for the (“Windows Package Manager”). Winget can be used to quickly install software without following the entire installation process or, for example, to process in scripts. You can use it to download apps from the Microsoft Store and all EXE, MSI and MSIX file extensions.

Winget can be installed in different ways. You can download it from the Microsoft Store app, or download via GitHub.

I recommend first checking whether winget is not already installed. If winget is not installed, you can install it with the instruction below.
