# App Installation

And there kind of is, one of the nice things about Linux are the package managers that make installing programs a breeze. Now, there is [Windows Package Manger](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/). With that and [Winstall](https://winstall.app/) to check if the application is available, I really don't mind using Windows as a main operating system, (Arch) Linux be damned.

## Installing `winget` 

Instructions for installing the winget tool can be found [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/). The tool itself can be found through the link or on the Microsoft App Store. 

## Installing Programs 

Installing a  program is as simple as opening PowerShell and running:

```powershell
winget install <package-name>
```
