You can install the “Windows Package Manager” (winget) in multiple ways, including via the Microsoft Store and GitHub, or wait until the support arrives automatically.

Install winget on Windows 10 via Microsoft StoreInstall winget on Windows 10 via GitHub

On Windows 10, the “Windows Package Manager” is a command-line tool designed to make it easier and automate the process of searching, downloading, installing, upgrading, and configuring apps on your device.

If you have ever had to install one or multiple apps, you know how time-consuming it is to find the links, download, and reinstall all your apps. Using the winget client, you can use a simple command to specify which apps you want to get. Then the tool will find and install the latest version automatically.

Microsoft makes available the tool through the Microsoft Store on devices running Windows 10 version 1809 and higher releases. However, you can get it manually without waiting for the update by installing the latest version of the App Installer on any of the supported versions of Windows 10.

This guide will teach you how to install the winget-CLI client on Windows 10.

  • Install winget on Windows 10 via Microsoft Store
  • Install winget on Windows 10 via GitHub

Install winget on Windows 10 via Microsoft Store

If you are already running Windows 10 21H1, there is a chance that the client is already available. You can check by invoking the winget command in Command Prompt or PowerShell.

To install the Windows Package Manager on Windows 10, use these steps:

  1. Open the App Installer page at the Microsoft Store.

  2. Click the Get button.

  3. Click the Open Microsoft Store button.

  4. Click the Update button.

  5. Open Start.

  6. Search for Command Prompt and click the top result to open the terminal.

  7. Type the following command to confirm the Windows Package Manager is already installed and press Enter:

    winget

Once you complete the steps, the winget-CLI will install on the device, and you can begin searching and installing apps using commands.

Install winget on Windows 10 via GitHub

To install the Windows Package Manager with the offline installer, use these steps:

  1. Open the winget GitHub patge.

  2. Under the “Latest release” section, click the Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appxbundle download link.

  3. Double-click the file to launch the winget installer.

  4. Click the Update button.

After you complete the steps, the Windows Package Manager will apply to Windows 10, and you can start using Command Prompt and PowerShell to install apps.

If you get an error on an older version of Windows 10, you may need to install the VC++ v14 Desktop Framework Package.

Alternatively, you can also create your own private client application. You can find more details on how to do this process on GitHub.
