Situatie
You can install the Windows Package Manager (winget) in multiple ways, including via the Microsoft Store, GitHub, or you can wait until the update arrives automatically.
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 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 plans to roll out 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.
