The primary goal of WingetCLI is to streamline the process of software management for both end-users and IT administrators. It allows users to search for software packages, view detailed information about them, and install or update them with a few simple commands. This can be particularly useful for managing software on multiple machines, as it provides a centralized and automated way to deploy and maintain software.

WingetCLI supports a wide range of software packages, including applications, libraries, and tools. It can handle dependencies, ensuring that all necessary components are installed and up-to-date. Additionally, it provides options for configuring installation paths, setting up environment variables, and managing package versions.

The tool is open-source and can be integrated into various automation and scripting workflows, making it a valuable asset for developers and system administrators. WingetCLI is continuously being updated and improved by the community, with new features and enhancements being added regularly. It is available for download from the Microsoft website and can be installed on Windows 10 version 1709 and later, as well as Windows 11.
