Windows Package Manager **WinGet** command-line tool is available on Windows 11 modern versions of Windows 10, and Windows Server 2025 as a part of the **App Installer**. The **App Installer** is a System Component delivered and updated by the Microsoft store on Windows Desktop versions, and via Updates on Windows Server 2025.

You can [get App Installer from the Microsoft Store](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nblggh4nns1). If it's already installed, make sure it is updated with the latest version.

> [!NOTE]
> The **WinGet** command line tool is only supported on Windows 10 1709 (build 16299) or later at this time. WinGet will not be available until you have logged into Windows as a user for the first time, triggering Microsoft Store to register the Windows Package Manager as part of an asynchronous process. If you have recently logged in as a user for the first time and find that WinGet is not yet available, you can open PowerShell and enter the following command to request this WinGet registration: `Add-AppxPackage -RegisterByFamilyName -MainPackage Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe`.
