It enables you to search for apps and build a package of apps that you can then convert to a single script. You can go to Winstall.app and either pick from a pre-made “pack” of apps, or build your own. The one I use most often is winstall.app. There are a handful of sites that help make pre-configured scripts for winget packages. If you know that you want your IT team to have specific apps that are different from HR or Students or Teachers, you can make packages that are group specific. This is also helpful if you want to make application packages that are specific groups in your organization. In our dream scenario, we can use our Windows update ring settings and winget to make summer laptop reimaging obsolete. It also makes it easy to update the software. If you have an MDM with a kiosk or self-service function, you can create a script for a specific piece of software and include it in the kiosk without having to mess with repackaging an exe or any other weird MDM configuration. If you’re deploying a ton of software, you can create a script to install your software either by pushing the script through Group Policy, an MDM, or during your setup process. You can do this without running as admin, but it will stop and prompt you for credentials repeatedly.
If you want winget to upgrade all the eligible winget-compatible packages on your computer, you could run CMD as Administrator and enter:Īnd it will search your computer for compatible packages and update them. You can also install Windows Store apps through winget, but they’re a little trickier (more on this later).įor example, if you want to install Notepad++, you would enter this command:Īlternatively, if you already had notepad++ installed and wanted to update it, you’d enter: Winget allows for one-line software installation or updates for software in the winget repository, which currently (Oct 2022) includes 3,822 applications.
