| Summary | 0018080: Add MediaMonkey to the Microsoft winget repository | ||||
| Description | Microsoft is in the process of rolling out a built-in package manager for Windows, which allows users to install programs from the command line. Info page on winget: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/ Releases & info: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli Info on contributing to the package repository: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs It would be quite convenient for technical users to be able to install MediaMonkey just by typing "winget install mediamonkey". It appears that the winget application fetches and runs the appropriate .exe installer from the package's own CDN. For example: "winget install discord" downloads Discord from https://dl.discordapp.net/distro/app/stable/win/x86/1.0.9002/DiscordSetup.exe and runs it. This installer appears to be one that does not open a dialog and prompt the user, so we'd probably have to create an automatic installer that goes through the default options without any prompts. Perhaps we can make two packages: mediamonkey and mediamonkey-portable. | ||||
