  WinGet is the Windows Package Manager. This project includes a CLI (Command Line Interface), PowerShell modules, and a COM (Component Object Model) API (Application Programming Interface).

  

I see a lot of people say "winget!" in the comments but the problem is that Winget is not at all like a proper package manager. It lacks versioning control, it lacks dependency controls (here is the request for that feature), the repository is barely managed at all (no signature checks and a lot of other things missing) for example. Winget is basically a wild west where people can just upload installer binaries that people can download and run. It's not that far from just a program that does a google search, downloads and runs an installer file straight from the first result of Google.

  The Microsoft community Windows Package Manager manifest repository

  

Here is VLC for example. All it does is download the installer from videolan.org and runs it. That is not how a proper package manager should work.

Meanwhile scoop is all like “it’s like people don’t even know I exist!”
