00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:05.759
did you know that Windows has a cool feature called a package manager those

00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:09.719
of you who have used Linux before might already be very familiar with a package

00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:13.920
manager but in case you aren't a package manager is a quick way to manage

00:00:11.799 --> 00:00:18.880
programs from a command line they've been part of Linux for a very long time

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:23.640
but Windows only recently got a package manager as a standard feature wait a

00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:28.480
second a command line you mean the way my grandpa uses computer back in the'80s

00:00:25.880 --> 00:00:32.439
why the heck would you install or update programs that way can you just you know

00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:36.879
download what you want through a web browser or the Microsoft store of course

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:41.039
you can do those things that way but Windows package manager called winget

00:00:38.879 --> 00:00:45.320
differs in a couple of important ways winget can provide a very comprehensive

00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:50.399
list of everything installed on your computer simply by typing this command

00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:54.120
but you can also keep most of your programs up to date easily regardless of

00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:58.440
whether or not they're in the Microsoft store you see wingit operates by

00:00:56.440 --> 00:01:03.680
Consulting a Microsoft maintained repository of packages and a package

00:01:01.199 --> 00:01:07.799
contains both the software you want as well as information about any

00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:12.000
dependencies it might need to run properly such as additional files or

00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:16.200
resources some of the packages in the wing get repository are Microsoft

00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:20.560
programs but there are lots of thirdparty programs as well as of the

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:25.200
time we wrote this video Wing get had over 7,000 packages in its repository

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:29.439
surely you're running some of those programs this means one of the things we

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:34.280
get excels at is keeping your programs up to date with one command just type

00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:37.520
this into the command prompt hit enter and everything on your system that can

00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:41.200
be updated through winget will be listed and the installation process will begin

00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:45.360
immediately as wingit pulls packages from either Microsoft itself or from

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:50.159
thirdparty servers that host the software that you want this includes

00:01:47.119 --> 00:01:53.000
popular tools such as OBS BLC Zoom

00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:57.439
Discord and various game launchers much easier than trying to go and check for

00:01:55.119 --> 00:02:01.039
updates for all those programs manually especially if you have lots of programs

00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:04.880
installed that AR aren't kept up to date through the Microsoft store there's also

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:11.560
another way winget can make your life more convenient and we'll tell you what that is along with an important warning

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:17.239
right after we thank MSI every rig needs a reliable motherboard and MSI's MPG

00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:47.319
in the description today if you're migrating to a new pc winget can make it

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:52.400
easy for you to quickly install many of the programs you had on your old PC this

00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:56.519
is because winget has an export feature which creates a list of the supported

00:02:54.239 --> 00:03:00.760
packages installed on your PC which you can save to a USB drive by using this

00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:05.080
command just just enter the drive letter of your flash drive then insert the

00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:09.360
drive into your new pc and type in this import command to install everything on

00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:13.360
your list just like with the update example we mentioned earlier it's easier

00:03:11.519 --> 00:03:17.400
than downloading programs one by one and delete packages you don't need on the

00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:23.040
new system before importing it if it doesn't spark Joy uninstall winget can

00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:26.879
also search for and install new programs without having to click through a bunch

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:31.200
of installation screens you can search with this command and install a program

00:03:28.920 --> 00:03:35.840
without those messy dialogue scenes by using this command if you want a no fuss

00:03:33.640 --> 00:03:40.000
uninstallation of something on your PC you can pull this off by typing this in

00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:43.840
but do you remember how we said that winget lists more installed programs

00:03:42.239 --> 00:03:49.200
than what you might see in the settings app this means that winget could make it

00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:53.360
easier for you to inadvertently remove something your system depends on so

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:57.360
unless you're really familiar with the packages you're trying to remove we'd

00:03:55.720 --> 00:04:01.519
recommend just uninstalling through the settings app instead winget was designed

00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:04.920
more for advanced users so the assumption is you know what you're doing

00:04:03.239 --> 00:04:08.879
a little more than the average Joe if you're revving up this command prompt no

00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:14.159
disrespect meant to You Average Joe's who might be watching this video of course we love you and we hope you

00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:17.479
become Advanced Joe's Maybe by using Wing get thanks for watching if you like
