    Say hi to Electric! Website: https://electric.sh

    Built over 9 months, Electric (Open Source) is the easiest and fastest way to install and manage software on Windows.

    Electric allows you to install, uninstall and update any software using a simple command. Just open your terminal, and type `electric install s/w-name`! Boom, in a few seconds, the software will be installed on your PC. Electric is one of the first package managers which can install multiple software in parallel!

    Electric runs the installer silently - you don't even see the installer popup! It goes through all those complicated menus so you don't have to and voila! Just like that, you've installed the software. Electric does the downloading, virus checking, installing and verifying if the software is installed correctly – with love, speed and accuracy.

    Today electric has support for the 300 most popular software and it's growing each day. You can view all package electric can install at https://github.com/electric-package-manager/electric-package....

    Electric is open source and it's built with a combination of Python and Rust. Some of the more performant components like the tab completion module and the installer (setting up web registry urls etc.) are written in Rust. Majority of the software however, is written in Python 3.

    Here's the repository : https://github.com/electric-package-manager/electric
