Installing a bunch of applications at once on Windows can be annoying.
you better find the installer packages, download them, then run them all, one after another.
It requires spending a bunch of time clicking though menus and checking boxes.
But you don’t have to live this way.
Linux users have long used package managers to accomplish this with far greater easeashave some Mac users.
And, it turns out, Windows comes with a package manager.
It’s called Winget.
Typewinget searchfollowed by the app you want to install.
In most cases, you should be delivered a list of options.
In the above example I wanted to install Steam, so I ran the commandwinget search steam.
After finding the program I want, I can install it with a command.
In this case, I typewinget install Valve.Steamand hit enter, and Winget will take it from there.
After I bang out that command, Winget downloads Steam and automatically runs the installer for me.
Alternatively, you canuse sudo for Windows.
That caveat aside, you might use these commands to install any of almost 8,000 applications.
you might also use it to update all of the software you’ve installed using it.
First, typewinget updateto see a list of all the applications that need updates.
Next, typewinget update –allto install all the listed updates.
