Guide to installing winget on windows 10
Winget is package manager which helps you discover and install your favorite apps or any software on your windows devices. It works similar to APT(used by Debian and derivatives) with a central repository that can fetch package from specific sources namely winget, msstore aka MS Store and your private hosted REST resource. A user can add or remove from which source they can download, search and upgrade their apps/package. Currently its a command line based interface. Works on Win 10 1809 (Build 17763) and above. I'm unsure if LTSB/LTSC will have 100% success anyway I have linked the link to add MS Store to LTSB(C) version if anyone is interested to get their hands dirty since the newer MS Store with Win 11 like UI has more dependencies.
You can install software with standard user and administrator privileges and winget can be used through command prompt, powershell and windows terminal.
I will add a brief intro to winget.run which I found recently when I came across winget. Winget(dot)run is a modern Web App which helps in simplifying installing apps from winget with ready-to-paste commands to install your apps quickly and avoids having to remember winget cmd-line arguments. In other words, it presents a wide variety of apps present in winget/msstore sources and very to use.
