The exception is if there’s more than one version of an app: Typing winget install opera, for instance, returns a notice saying you’ll need to reenter the command, selecting between the Opera GX gaming browser and the Opera Stable desktop browser. What’s great about the winget command is that it connects to a repository of existing packaged apps, so you can pretty quickly find what you’re looking for if you already know the name of the app. It isn’t fancy, but winget gets the job done. Simply type winget to see a list of commands and launch the package manager itself.
By default, the app opens into a DOS shell. To do so, open the Windows PowerShell app.
