<p>Kenneth: /* Dedicated Server in Linux */</p> <hr /> <div>== Save Game Location ==<br /> C:\Users\&lt;Username&gt;\AppData\Local\AbioticFactor\Saved\SaveGames\&lt;SteamID&gt;\Worlds<br /> %localappdata%\AbioticFactor\Saved\SaveGames\<br /> <br /> == Dedicated Server in Linux ==<br /> <br /> https://github.com/DFJacob/AbioticFactorDedicatedServer/wiki<br /> <br /> https://github.com/DFJacob/AbioticFactorDedicatedServer/issues/3<br /> <br /> The server settings are stored in a file that needs to be created, if you don't want default settings under something like:<br /> [SERVERPATH]/AbioticFactor/Saved/SaveGames/Server/Worlds/[WORLD]/SandboxSettings.ini<br /> Example:<br /> ~/abiotic/AbioticFactor/Saved/SaveGames/Server/Worlds/Cascade/SandboxSettings.ini<br /> <br /> Sample SandboxSettings.ini from our custom game: (only changes from default are included in the ini file)<br /> * &lt;ref&gt;https://github.com/DFJacob/AbioticFactorDedicatedServer/blob/main/SandboxSettings.ini&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * &lt;ref&gt;https://github.com/DFJacob/AbioticFactorDedicatedServer/wiki/Technical-%E2%80%90-Sandbox-Options&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * &lt;ref&gt;https://github.com/DFJacob/AbioticFactorDedicatedServer/blob/main/SandboxSettings.ini&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> [SandboxSettings]<br /> LootRespawnEnabled=true<br /> FoodSpoilSpeedMultiplier=0.25<br /> RefrigerationEffectivenessMultiplier=0.0<br /> DamageToAlliesMultiplier=0.0<br /> HungerSpeedMultiplier=0.25<br /> ThirstSpeedMultiplier=0.25<br /> HostAccessPlayerCorpses=false<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> Admini.ini that contains a list of admin Steam IDs is in:<br /> AbioticFactor/Saved/SaveGames/Server/Admin.ini<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> [Moderators]<br /> Moderator=123456<br /> Moderator=ExampleID2<br /> <br /> [BannedPlayers]<br /> BannedPlayer=ExampleBanID1<br /> BannedPlayer=ExampleBanID2<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;markdown&gt;<br /> ### **Installing the Abiotic Dedicated Server to Ubuntu**<br /> <br /> _Note: Do not run as user root - make a user called anything else and give them sudo permissions <br /> Example:_ <br /> ```<br /> sudo useradd -m abiotic<br /> sudo -u abiotic -s<br /> ```<br /> Now login to that user and go to their home directory `cd ~` to start this guide<br /> <br /> **1. Prepare the server with required packages**<br /> ```<br /> sudo apt update<br /> sudo apt upgrade -y<br /> sudo apt install software-properties-common lsb-release wget<br /> ```<br /> <br /> **2. Install Wine**<br /> Add repositories<br /> ```<br /> sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings<br /> sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key<br /> ```<br /> <br /> ```<br /> sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/$(lsb_release -is | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')/dists/$(lsb_release -cs)/winehq-$(lsb_release -cs).sources<br /> ```<br /> <br /> ```<br /> sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386<br /> sudo apt update<br /> sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging<br /> ```<br /> <br /> # Rebuild Wine Prefix (~/.wine)<br /> # wineboot -u<br /> # rm -rf ~/.wine) and run winecfg<br /> rm -rf ~/.wine<br /> wineboot --init<br /> <br /> ```<br /> sudo apt install cabextract winbind screen xvfb<br /> ```<br /> <br /> **3. Set up SteamCMD**<br /> ```<br /> sudo add-apt-repository multiverse<br /> sudo apt-add-repository non-free<br /> sudo apt update<br /> sudo apt install steamcmd<br /> ```<br /> <br /> **4. Install Abiotic server (example location - change it to whatever you like)** <br /> <br /> make a directory for server files to live in<br /> ```<br /> mkdir /home/abiotic/abioticserver<br /> ```<br /> <br /> download the game via steamcmd forcing it to use the windows files (you'll get an error if you don't do this)<br /> ```<br /> /usr/games/steamcmd +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows +force_install_dir /home/abiotic/abioticserver +login anonymous +app_update 2857200 +quit<br /> ```<br /> <br /> **5. Configure server** <br /> <br /> create the shell script to run your server (we're basically changing the .bat instructions to .sh) <br /> ```<br /> touch /home/abiotic/abioticserver/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/runserver.sh<br /> ```<br /> <br /> edit this new file with<br /> ```<br /> sudo nano /home/abiotic/abioticserver/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/runserver.sh<br /> ```<br /> <br /> add this to the file and change your password, server name, and world save name if you import any server save from your single player etc. (thank you @sirwillis92 for the changes to this) <br /> ```<br /> #!/bin/bash<br /> xvfb-run wine64 /home/abiotic/abioticserver/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/AbioticFactorServer-Win64-Shipping.exe -log -newconsole -useperfthreads -NoAsyncLoadingThread -MaxServerPlayers=6 -PORT=7777 -QUERYPORT=27015 -tcp -ServerPassword=yourpassword -SteamServerName=&quot;yourserver&quot; -WorldSaveName=&quot;Cascade&quot;<br /> ```<br /> <br /> save and close it (ctrl+x)<br /> <br /> **6. Forward your ports 7777 and 27015 to your server**<br /> <br /> **7. Start the server by running your runserver.sh** <br /> <br /> We can't start the .sh without getting file permissions<br /> ```<br /> chmod +x /home/abiotic/abioticserver/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/runserver.sh<br /> ```<br /> <br /> then cross your fingers<br /> ```<br /> /home/abiotic/abioticserver/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/runserver.sh<br /> ```<br /> <br /> you'll get a bunch of errors, but it should still work<br /> turn it off with ctrl+z <br /> <br /> Running this as a script right in your terminal will take over your terminal so I recommend running it as a service. <br /> I seem to have to reboot between server launches but that's what LXCs are good at. <br /> <br /> <br /> ### <br /> <br /> ### **Run as a service**<br /> <br /> **1. create the service file** <br /> ```<br /> sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/abiotic.service<br /> ```<br /> <br /> **2. Fill it with this (edit as necessary for your own setup):**<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ```<br /> [Unit]<br /> Description=Abiotic Factor Server<br /> Wants=network-online.target<br /> After=network-online.target<br /> <br /> [Service]<br /> User=abiotic<br /> Group=abiotic<br /> WorkingDirectory=/home/abiotic/abioticserver/<br /> ExecStartPre=/usr/games/steamcmd +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows +force_install_dir /home/abiotic/abioticserver +login anonymous +app_update 2857200 +quit<br /> ExecStart=/home/abiotic/abioticserver/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/runserver.sh<br /> Restart=always<br /> <br /> [Install]<br /> WantedBy=multi-user.target<br /> ```<br /> <br /> Save it<br /> <br /> **3.

<p>Kenneth: /* Linux run notes */</p> <hr /> <div>== Dedicated Server in Linux ==<br /> <br /> https://github.com/DFJacob/AbioticFactorDedicatedServer/wiki<br /> <br /> https://github.com/DFJacob/AbioticFactorDedicatedServer/issues/3<br /> <br /> &lt;markdown&gt;<br /> ### **Installing the Abiotic Dedicated Server to Ubuntu**<br /> <br /> _Note: Do not run as user root - make a user called anything else and give them sudo permissions <br /> Example:_ <br /> ```<br /> sudo useradd -m abiotic<br /> sudo -u abiotic -s<br /> ```<br /> Now login to that user and go to their home directory `cd ~` to start this guide<br /> <br /> **1. Prepare the server with required packages**<br /> ```<br /> sudo apt update<br /> sudo apt upgrade -y<br /> sudo apt install software-properties-common lsb-release wget<br /> ```<br /> <br /> **2. Install Wine**<br /> Add repositories<br /> ```<br /> sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings<br /> sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key<br /> ```<br /> <br /> ```<br /> sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/$(lsb_release -is | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')/dists/$(lsb_release -cs)/winehq-$(lsb_release -cs).sources<br /> ```<br /> <br /> ```<br /> sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386<br /> sudo apt update<br /> sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging<br /> ```<br /> <br /> # Rebuild Wine Prefix (~/.wine)<br /> # wineboot -u<br /> # rm -rf ~/.wine) and run winecfg<br /> rm -rf ~/.wine<br /> wineboot --init<br /> <br /> ```<br /> sudo apt install cabextract winbind screen xvfb<br /> ```<br /> <br /> **3. Set up SteamCMD**<br /> ```<br /> sudo add-apt-repository multiverse<br /> sudo apt-add-repository non-free<br /> sudo apt update<br /> sudo apt install steamcmd<br /> ```<br /> <br /> **4. Install Abiotic server (example location - change it to whatever you like)** <br /> <br /> make a directory for server files to live in<br /> ```<br /> mkdir /home/abiotic/abioticserver<br /> ```<br /> <br /> download the game via steamcmd forcing it to use the windows files (you'll get an error if you don't do this)<br /> ```<br /> /usr/games/steamcmd +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows +force_install_dir /home/abiotic/abioticserver +login anonymous +app_update 2857200 +quit<br /> ```<br /> <br /> **5. Configure server** <br /> <br /> create the shell script to run your server (we're basically changing the .bat instructions to .sh) <br /> ```<br /> touch /home/abiotic/abioticserver/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/runserver.sh<br /> ```<br /> <br /> edit this new file with<br /> ```<br /> sudo nano /home/abiotic/abioticserver/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/runserver.sh<br /> ```<br /> <br /> add this to the file and change your password, server name, and world save name if you import any server save from your single player etc. (thank you @sirwillis92 for the changes to this) <br /> ```<br /> #!/bin/bash<br /> xvfb-run wine64 /home/abiotic/abioticserver/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/AbioticFactorServer-Win64-Shipping.exe -log -newconsole -useperfthreads -NoAsyncLoadingThread -MaxServerPlayers=6 -PORT=7777 -QUERYPORT=27015 -tcp -ServerPassword=yourpassword -SteamServerName=&quot;yourserver&quot; -WorldSaveName=&quot;Cascade&quot;<br /> ```<br /> <br /> save and close it (ctrl+x)<br /> <br /> **6. Forward your ports 7777 and 27015 to your server**<br /> <br /> **7. Start the server by running your runserver.sh** <br /> <br /> We can't start the .sh without getting file permissions<br /> ```<br /> chmod +x /home/abiotic/abioticserver/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/runserver.sh<br /> ```<br /> <br /> then cross your fingers<br /> ```<br /> /home/abiotic/abioticserver/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/runserver.sh<br /> ```<br /> <br /> you'll get a bunch of errors, but it should still work<br /> turn it off with ctrl+z <br /> <br /> Running this as a script right in your terminal will take over your terminal so I recommend running it as a service. <br /> I seem to have to reboot between server launches but that's what LXCs are good at. <br /> <br /> <br /> ### <br /> <br /> ### **Run as a service**<br /> <br /> **1. create the service file** <br /> ```<br /> sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/abiotic.service<br /> ```<br /> <br /> **2. Fill it with this (edit as necessary for your own setup):**<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ```<br /> [Unit]<br /> Description=Abiotic Factor Server<br /> Wants=network-online.target<br /> After=network-online.target<br /> <br /> [Service]<br /> User=abiotic<br /> Group=abiotic<br /> WorkingDirectory=/home/abiotic/abioticserver/<br /> ExecStartPre=/usr/games/steamcmd +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows +force_install_dir /home/abiotic/abioticserver +login anonymous +app_update 2857200 +quit<br /> ExecStart=/home/abiotic/abioticserver/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/runserver.sh<br /> Restart=always<br /> <br /> [Install]<br /> WantedBy=multi-user.target<br /> ```<br /> <br /> Save it<br /> <br /> **3. Enable the service**<br /> ```<br /> sudo systemctl enable abiotic<br /> ```<br /> <br /> **4. Start the service** <br /> ```<br /> sudo systemctl start abiotic<br /> ```<br /> <br /> Use stop and disable commands to do that respectively. <br /> <br /> That's it. It will auto restart on a power cycle and always update the server files to the latest build. <br /> &lt;/markdown&gt;<br /> <br /> === Linux run notes ===<br /> <br /> I was able to get it running with xvfb-run wine64<br /> <br /> here is a copy of what my shell script looks like:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> $ cat examplestart.sh<br /> #!/bin/bash<br /> xvfb-run wine64 AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/AbioticFactorServer-Win64-Shipping.exe -log -newconole -useperfthreads -NoAsyncLoadingThread -MaxServerPlayers=6 -PORT=7777 -QUERYPORT=27015 -ServerPassword=ServerPassword -SteamServerName=&quot;ServerName&quot; -WorldSaveName=&quot;Cascade&quot;<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> I end up running into this error though:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> LogOnline: Warning: OSS: Async task 'FOnlineAsyncTaskSteamCreateServer bWasSuccessful: 0' failed in 15.001264 seconds<br /> which seems to mean that the server is not listed on the steam server list.

If you don't want a password to access the admin menu in-game, remove the -AdminPassword= launch parameter<br /> RunServer.bat, this allows you to double click it to run the server.<br /> <br /> Run the server and check if a console window appears.<br /> <br /> If you didn't use the -AdminPassword launch parameter, you will need to manually add your SteamID (Doesn't work for Xbox or Playstation) to the server config. Close the server and navigate to \(Server Install)\AbioticFactor\Saved\SaveGames\Server\Admin.ini. Edit this file and add your SteamID under [Moderators], eg: Moderator=76561198053306820<br /> <br /> Use RunServer again, if you can't see the server in the server browser you may have to port forward 7777 and 27015<br /> <br /> == keywords ==</div>

<p>Kenneth: </p> <hr /> <div>== Dedicated Server in Linux ==<br /> <br /> https://github.com/DFJacob/AbioticFactorDedicatedServer/wiki<br /> <br /> https://github.com/DFJacob/AbioticFactorDedicatedServer/issues/3<br /> <br /> &lt;markdown&gt;<br /> ### **Installing the Abiotic Dedicated Server to Ubuntu**<br /> <br /> _Note: Do not run as user root - make a user called anything else and give them sudo permissions <br /> Example:_ <br /> `sudo useradd -m abiotic`<br /> `sudo -u abiotic -s`<br /> Now login to that user and go to their home directory `cd ~` to start this guide<br /> <br /> **1. Prepare the server with required packages**<br /> `sudo apt update<br /> sudo apt upgrade -y`<br /> `sudo apt install software-properties-common lsb-release wget`<br /> <br /> **2. Install Wine**<br /> Add repositories<br /> `sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings`<br /> `sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key`<br /> <br /> `sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/$(lsb_release -is | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')/dists/$(lsb_release -cs)/winehq-$(lsb_release -cs).sources`<br /> <br /> `sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386`<br /> `sudo apt update`<br /> `sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-staging`<br /> `sudo apt install cabextract winbind screen xvfb`<br /> <br /> **3. Set up SteamCMD**<br /> `sudo add-apt-repository multiverse`<br /> `sudo apt-add-repository non-free`<br /> `sudo apt update`<br /> `sudo apt install steamcmd`<br /> <br /> **4. Install Abiotic server (example location - change it to whatever you like)** <br /> <br /> make a directory for server files to live in<br /> `mkdir /home/abiotic/abioticserver`<br /> download the game via steamcmd forcing it to use the windows files (you'll get an error if you don't do this)<br /> `/usr/games/steamcmd +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows +force_install_dir /home/abiotic/abioticserver +login anonymous +app_update 2857200 +quit`<br /> <br /> **5. Configure server** <br /> <br /> create the shell script to run your server (we're basically changing the .bat instructions to .sh) <br /> `touch /home/abiotic/abioticserver/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/runserver.sh`<br /> edit this new file with<br /> `sudo nano /home/abiotic/abioticserver/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/runserver.sh`<br /> add this to the file and change your password, server name, and world save name if you import any server save from your single player etc. (thank you @sirwillis92 for the changes to this) <br /> ```<br /> #!/bin/bash<br /> xvfb-run wine64 /home/abiotic/abioticserver/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/AbioticFactorServer-Win64-Shipping.exe -log -newconsole -useperfthreads -NoAsyncLoadingThread -MaxServerPlayers=6 -PORT=7777 -QUERYPORT=27015 -tcp -ServerPassword=yourpassword -SteamServerName=&quot;yourserver&quot; -WorldSaveName=&quot;Cascade&quot;<br /> ```<br /> save and close it (ctrl+x)<br /> <br /> **6. Forward your ports 7777 and 27015 to your server**<br /> <br /> **7. Start the server by running your runserver.sh** <br /> <br /> We can't start the .sh without getting file permissions<br /> `chmod +x /home/abiotic/abioticserver/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/runserver.sh`<br /> then cross your fingers<br /> `/home/abiotic/abioticserver/AbioticFactor/Binaries/Win64/runserver.sh`<br /> you'll get a bunch of errors, but it should still work<br /> turn it off with ctrl+z <br /> <br /> Running this as a script right in your terminal will take over your terminal so I recommend running it as a service. <br /> I seem to have to reboot between server launches but that's what LXCs are good at. <br /> <br /> <br /> ### <br /> <br /> ### **Run as a service**<br /> <br /> **1. create the service file** <br /> `sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/abiotic.service`<br /> <br /> **2.

They apply in every repository and every session,<br /> and take precedence over default response habits. Repository-specific instructions<br /> still govern their own domain (coding standards, branch naming, project workflows).<br /> <br /> ## Asking Questions<br /> <br /> **Always use the `ask_user` tool to ask me a question.** Never ask a question in plain<br /> response text and then stop, and never end a response with a bare question expecting me<br /> to answer in chat. If you need input, a decision, a preference, or a clarification —<br /> present it through `ask_user` so it renders as a structured form.<br /> <br /> This applies to every kind of question, including:<br /> <br /> - Choosing between implementation approaches<br /> - Confirming a destructive or hard-to-reverse action before taking it<br /> - Resolving ambiguous requirements or unclear scope<br /> - Asking where output should go, or what to do next<br /> - Single yes/no confirmations (a one-field form is fine)<br /> <br /> **Always include an open-ended option.** Every `ask_user` form must give me a way to<br /> answer in my own words rather than forcing a pick from your list. Concretely:<br /> <br /> - Add a final free-text field — typically `other`, titled something like<br /> &quot;Something else / in my own words&quot;, with a description inviting a freeform answer<br /> and making clear it overrides the structured selections above.<br /> - For a single-choice field, also include an escape-hatch option in the `enum`/`oneOf`<br /> list itself (for example &quot;Something else — I'll explain&quot;) so the open-ended path is<br /> visible at the point of choosing, not only in a separate field.<br /> - Never present a closed set of options as if it were exhaustive. Your options are<br /> suggestions, not a menu I am confined to.<br /> <br /> **Recommend, don't just enumerate.** State which option you'd pick and why, then set it<br /> as the `default`. I would rather correct a considered recommendation than arbitrate a<br /> neutral list.<br /> <br /> **Batch related questions.** If several decisions belong to the same topic, put them in<br /> one form rather than asking serially. Keep unrelated topics in separate forms.<br /> <br /> **Respect a declined or cancelled form.** If I decline, proceed with the stated defaults<br /> and say which ones you used. Do not immediately re-ask the same question.<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> == keywords ==</div>

<p>Kenneth: /* Install WinGet from AppxPackage */</p> <hr /> <div>== WinGet ==<br /> <br /> The '''Windows Package Manager''' (also known as '''winget''') is a free and open-source package manager designed by Microsoft for Windows 10 and Windows 11. It consists of a command-line utility and a set of services for installing applications. Independent software vendors can use it as a distribution channel for their software packages. &lt;ref&gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Package_Manager&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Before deciding to develop Windows Package Manager, the team behind it explored Chocolatey, Scoop, Ninite, AppGet, Npackd and the PowerShell-based OneGet.<br /> <br /> ---<br /> <br /> <br /> The WinGet command line tool, which is the client interface to the Windows Package Manager service, requires Windows 10 version 1809 (build 17763) or later, or Windows 11.<br /> <br /> WinGet is the Windows Package Manager. This project includes a CLI (Command Line Interface), PowerShell modules, and a COM (Component Object Model) API (Application Programming Interface).<br /> <br /> The client requires Windows 10 1809 (build 17763) or later at this time. Windows Server 2019 is not supported as the Microsoft Store is not available nor are updated dependencies. It may be possible to install on Windows Server 2022, this should be considered experimental (not supported), and requires dependencies to be manually installed as well. &lt;ref&gt;https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Install WinGet ==<br /> <br /> === Install WinGet from PowerShell 7 ===<br /> <br /> Quick:<br /> Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force<br /> Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client -Force -Repository PSGallery <br /> Repair-WinGetPackageManager -Force -Latest -AllUsers<br /> <br /> winget install Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --source winget<br /> <br /> Path to winget:<br /> %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\winget<br /> PATH ::<br /> %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps<br /> <br /> This seemed to work best on problematic systems:<br /> <br /> Run Powershell 7:<br /> pwsh<br /> <br /> Verify WinGet Module is not running:<br /> Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.Modules -ne $null -and $_.Modules.ModuleName -like '*WinGet*' } | Select-Object ProcessName, Id<br /> <br /> Install dependency<br /> *** BEST ***<br /> Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force<br /> <br /> Install Powershell Module: (Warns that PSGallery is Untrusted repository??)<br /> Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client<br /> <br /> # If that doesn't work...<br /> # Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client -Force<br /> *** BEST ***<br /> Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client -Force -Repository PSGallery <br /> <br /> Repair Install: (This should work, but doesn't seem to)<br /> # Repair-WinGetPackageManager -AllUsers<br /> <br /> Force Repair Install:<br /> Repair-WinGetPackageManager -AllUsers<br /> <br /> # If that doesn't work...<br /> # Repair-WinGetPackageManager -Force -Latest<br /> <br /> *** BEST ***<br /> Repair-WinGetPackageManager -Force -Latest -AllUsers<br /> <br /> Test Installing Windows Terminal:<br /> winget install Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --source winget<br /> <br /> # winget install --scope user Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --source winget<br /> #(not supported) winget install --scope machine Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --source winget<br /> <br /> === Install from Microsoft Store ===<br /> <br /> Microsoft Store calls it App Installer (instead of WinGet??), and it is not searchable?? Have to find it on the online store here:<br /> <br /> App Installer<br /> https://www.microsoft.com/p/app-installer/9nblggh4nns1<br /> <br /> AI says you can't find it in the Microsoft Store because:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> Winget (Windows Package Manager) isn't directly searchable in the Microsoft Store because it's delivered as part of the App Installer package, which is often pre-installed but might be outdated or broken; the key is that the command-line tool winget handles app management, but its own core components need to be updated through the Store or command line when it's problematic, leading to a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation that requires manual updates or specific commands to fix. <br /> <br /> Why it seems missing or unsearchable:<br /> * It's bundled: winget isn't a separate app in the Store; it's a feature of the &quot;App Installer&quot;.<br /> * Outdated default: New Windows installs often have an old App Installer that can't update itself, requiring manual intervention.<br /> * Async registration: It only becomes available after you've logged into Windows once, triggering the Store to register it.<br /> * Search issues: Sometimes, internal Store issues or ISV blocks prevent searching for the App Installer or packages within it. <br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> === Install WinGet from AppxPackage ===<br /> <br /> Install WinGet<br /> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/<br /> <br /> WinGet the Windows Package Manager 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.<br /> <br /> The WinGet command line tool is only supported on Windows 10 version 1809 (build 17763) or later. 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: [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/]<br /> <br /> Add-AppxPackage -RegisterByFamilyName -MainPackage Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe<br /> <br /> Direct Download: (as administrator powershell)<br /> wget.exe https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/download/v1.29.290/Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle<br /> Add-AppPackage -path .\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle<br /> <br /> winget install Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --source winget<br /> <br /> winget update --all<br /> winget update --all -u<br /> <br /> === Install WinGet from Chocolatey ===<br /> <br /> Hmmm This didn't work<br /> &lt;s&gt;choco install winget-cli&lt;/s&gt;<br /> <br /> == winget-cli GitHub ==<br /> <br /> https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli<br /> <br /> == Microsoft Store ==<br /> <br /> https://www.microsoft.com/p/app-installer/9nblggh4nns1<br /> <br /> == Winget Version ==<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> PS C:\&gt; winget --version<br /> v1.12.350<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> == List Installed Packages ==<br /> <br /> List Installed Packages:<br /> winget list<br /> <br /> List Installed Packages in User Scope:<br /> winget list --scope user<br /> <br /> List Installed Packages in Machine Scope:<br /> winget list --scope machine<br /> <br /> Get Package details, including scope:<br /> winget list &lt;package&gt; --details<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> &gt; winget list github.cli --details<br /> Failed when searching source; results will not be included: msstore<br /> GitHub CLI [GitHub.cli]<br /> Version: 2.96.0<br /> Publisher: GitHub, Inc.<br /> Local Identifier: ARP\Machine\X64\{B268D2DF-B30F-4883-8866-22B3CFCC2387}<br /> Product Code: {b268d2df-b30f-4883-8866-22b3cfcc2387}<br /> Upgrade Code: {8cfb9531-b959-4e1b-aa2e-4af0ffcc4af4}<br /> Installer Category: msi<br /> Installed Scope: Machine<br /> Installed Architecture: X64<br /> Installed Locale: en-US<br /> Origin Source: winget<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> See if package installed in specific scope:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> C:\&gt; winget list github.cli --scope user<br /> Failed when searching source; results will not be included: msstore<br /> No installed package found matching input criteria.<br /> <br /> C:\&gt; winget list github.cli --scope machine<br /> Failed when searching source; results will not be included: msstore<br /> Name Id Version Source<br /> -------------------------------------<br /> GitHub CLI GitHub.cli 2.96.0 winget<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> == Install Package ==<br /> <br /> winget install &lt;package&gt;<br /> https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs<br /> <br /> Example:<br /> winget install Microsoft.WindowsTerminal Microsoft.PowerToys Microsoft.VisualStudioCode<br /> <br /> === Install Package to Install Scope ===<br /> <br /> Scope:<br /> # --scope Select install scope (user or machine)<br /> <br /> NOTE: Default Scope is User Scope, if both scopes are available.

<p>Kenneth: </p> <hr /> <div>== WinGet ==<br /> <br /> The '''Windows Package Manager''' (also known as '''winget''') is a free and open-source package manager designed by Microsoft for Windows 10 and Windows 11. It consists of a command-line utility and a set of services for installing applications. Independent software vendors can use it as a distribution channel for their software packages. &lt;ref&gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Package_Manager&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Before deciding to develop Windows Package Manager, the team behind it explored Chocolatey, Scoop, Ninite, AppGet, Npackd and the PowerShell-based OneGet.<br /> <br /> ---<br /> <br /> <br /> The WinGet command line tool, which is the client interface to the Windows Package Manager service, requires Windows 10 version 1809 (build 17763) or later, or Windows 11.<br /> <br /> WinGet is the Windows Package Manager. This project includes a CLI (Command Line Interface), PowerShell modules, and a COM (Component Object Model) API (Application Programming Interface).<br /> <br /> The client requires Windows 10 1809 (build 17763) or later at this time. Windows Server 2019 is not supported as the Microsoft Store is not available nor are updated dependencies. It may be possible to install on Windows Server 2022, this should be considered experimental (not supported), and requires dependencies to be manually installed as well. &lt;ref&gt;https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Install WinGet ==<br /> <br /> === Install WinGet from PowerShell 7 ===<br /> <br /> Quick:<br /> Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force<br /> Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client -Force -Repository PSGallery <br /> Repair-WinGetPackageManager -Force -Latest -AllUsers<br /> <br /> winget install Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --source winget<br /> <br /> Path to winget:<br /> %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\winget<br /> PATH ::<br /> %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps<br /> <br /> This seemed to work best on problematic systems:<br /> <br /> Run Powershell 7:<br /> pwsh<br /> <br /> Verify WinGet Module is not running:<br /> Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.Modules -ne $null -and $_.Modules.ModuleName -like '*WinGet*' } | Select-Object ProcessName, Id<br /> <br /> Install dependency<br /> *** BEST ***<br /> Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force<br /> <br /> Install Powershell Module: (Warns that PSGallery is Untrusted repository??)<br /> Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client<br /> <br /> # If that doesn't work...<br /> # Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client -Force<br /> *** BEST ***<br /> Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client -Force -Repository PSGallery <br /> <br /> Repair Install: (This should work, but doesn't seem to)<br /> # Repair-WinGetPackageManager -AllUsers<br /> <br /> Force Repair Install:<br /> Repair-WinGetPackageManager -AllUsers<br /> <br /> # If that doesn't work...<br /> # Repair-WinGetPackageManager -Force -Latest<br /> <br /> *** BEST ***<br /> Repair-WinGetPackageManager -Force -Latest -AllUsers<br /> <br /> Test Installing Windows Terminal:<br /> winget install Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --source winget<br /> <br /> # winget install --scope user Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --source winget<br /> #(not supported) winget install --scope machine Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --source winget<br /> <br /> === Install from Microsoft Store ===<br /> <br /> Microsoft Store calls it App Installer (instead of WinGet??), and it is not searchable?? Have to find it on the online store here:<br /> <br /> App Installer<br /> https://www.microsoft.com/p/app-installer/9nblggh4nns1<br /> <br /> AI says you can't find it in the Microsoft Store because:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> Winget (Windows Package Manager) isn't directly searchable in the Microsoft Store because it's delivered as part of the App Installer package, which is often pre-installed but might be outdated or broken; the key is that the command-line tool winget handles app management, but its own core components need to be updated through the Store or command line when it's problematic, leading to a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation that requires manual updates or specific commands to fix. <br /> <br /> Why it seems missing or unsearchable:<br /> * It's bundled: winget isn't a separate app in the Store; it's a feature of the &quot;App Installer&quot;.<br /> * Outdated default: New Windows installs often have an old App Installer that can't update itself, requiring manual intervention.<br /> * Async registration: It only becomes available after you've logged into Windows once, triggering the Store to register it.<br /> * Search issues: Sometimes, internal Store issues or ISV blocks prevent searching for the App Installer or packages within it. <br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> === Install WinGet from AppxPackage ===<br /> <br /> Install WinGet<br /> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/<br /> <br /> WinGet the Windows Package Manager 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.<br /> <br /> The WinGet command line tool is only supported on Windows 10 version 1809 (build 17763) or later. 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: [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/]<br /> <br /> Add-AppxPackage -RegisterByFamilyName -MainPackage Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe<br /> <br /> Direct Download: (as administrator powershell)<br /> wget.exe https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/download/v1.29.290/Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle<br /> Add-AppPackage -path .\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle<br /> <br /> winget update --all<br /> winget update --all -u<br /> <br /> === Install WinGet from Chocolatey ===<br /> <br /> Hmmm This didn't work<br /> &lt;s&gt;choco install winget-cli&lt;/s&gt;<br /> <br /> == winget-cli GitHub ==<br /> <br /> https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli<br /> <br /> == Microsoft Store ==<br /> <br /> https://www.microsoft.com/p/app-installer/9nblggh4nns1<br /> <br /> == Winget Version ==<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> PS C:\&gt; winget --version<br /> v1.12.350<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> == List Installed Packages ==<br /> <br /> List Installed Packages:<br /> winget list<br /> <br /> List Installed Packages in User Scope:<br /> winget list --scope user<br /> <br /> List Installed Packages in Machine Scope:<br /> winget list --scope machine<br /> <br /> Get Package details, including scope:<br /> winget list &lt;package&gt; --details<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> &gt; winget list github.cli --details<br /> Failed when searching source; results will not be included: msstore<br /> GitHub CLI [GitHub.cli]<br /> Version: 2.96.0<br /> Publisher: GitHub, Inc.<br /> Local Identifier: ARP\Machine\X64\{B268D2DF-B30F-4883-8866-22B3CFCC2387}<br /> Product Code: {b268d2df-b30f-4883-8866-22b3cfcc2387}<br /> Upgrade Code: {8cfb9531-b959-4e1b-aa2e-4af0ffcc4af4}<br /> Installer Category: msi<br /> Installed Scope: Machine<br /> Installed Architecture: X64<br /> Installed Locale: en-US<br /> Origin Source: winget<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> See if package installed in specific scope:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> C:\&gt; winget list github.cli --scope user<br /> Failed when searching source; results will not be included: msstore<br /> No installed package found matching input criteria.<br /> <br /> C:\&gt; winget list github.cli --scope machine<br /> Failed when searching source; results will not be included: msstore<br /> Name Id Version Source<br /> -------------------------------------<br /> GitHub CLI GitHub.cli 2.96.0 winget<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> == Install Package ==<br /> <br /> winget install &lt;package&gt;<br /> https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs<br /> <br /> Example:<br /> winget install Microsoft.WindowsTerminal Microsoft.PowerToys Microsoft.VisualStudioCode<br /> <br /> === Install Package to Install Scope ===<br /> <br /> Scope:<br /> # --scope Select install scope (user or machine)<br /> <br /> NOTE: Default Scope is User Scope, if both scopes are available.

<p>Kenneth: /* Heavy Load */</p> <hr /> <div>== WinGet ==<br /> <br /> The '''Windows Package Manager''' (also known as '''winget''') is a free and open-source package manager designed by Microsoft for Windows 10 and Windows 11. It consists of a command-line utility and a set of services for installing applications. Independent software vendors can use it as a distribution channel for their software packages. &lt;ref&gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Package_Manager&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Before deciding to develop Windows Package Manager, the team behind it explored Chocolatey, Scoop, Ninite, AppGet, Npackd and the PowerShell-based OneGet.<br /> <br /> ---<br /> <br /> <br /> The WinGet command line tool, which is the client interface to the Windows Package Manager service, requires Windows 10 version 1809 (build 17763) or later, or Windows 11.<br /> <br /> WinGet is the Windows Package Manager. This project includes a CLI (Command Line Interface), PowerShell modules, and a COM (Component Object Model) API (Application Programming Interface).<br /> <br /> The client requires Windows 10 1809 (build 17763) or later at this time. Windows Server 2019 is not supported as the Microsoft Store is not available nor are updated dependencies. It may be possible to install on Windows Server 2022, this should be considered experimental (not supported), and requires dependencies to be manually installed as well. &lt;ref&gt;https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Install WinGet ==<br /> <br /> === Install WinGet from PowerShell 7 ===<br /> <br /> Quick:<br /> Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force<br /> Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client -Force -Repository PSGallery <br /> Repair-WinGetPackageManager -Force -Latest -AllUsers<br /> <br /> winget install Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --source winget<br /> <br /> Path to winget:<br /> %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\winget<br /> PATH ::<br /> %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps<br /> <br /> This seemed to work best on problematic systems:<br /> <br /> Run Powershell 7:<br /> pwsh<br /> <br /> Verify WinGet Module is not running:<br /> Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.Modules -ne $null -and $_.Modules.ModuleName -like '*WinGet*' } | Select-Object ProcessName, Id<br /> <br /> Install dependency<br /> *** BEST ***<br /> Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force<br /> <br /> Install Powershell Module: (Warns that PSGallery is Untrusted repository??)<br /> Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client<br /> <br /> # If that doesn't work...<br /> # Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client -Force<br /> *** BEST ***<br /> Install-Module -Name Microsoft.WinGet.Client -Force -Repository PSGallery <br /> <br /> Repair Install: (This should work, but doesn't seem to)<br /> # Repair-WinGetPackageManager -AllUsers<br /> <br /> Force Repair Install:<br /> Repair-WinGetPackageManager -AllUsers<br /> <br /> # If that doesn't work...<br /> # Repair-WinGetPackageManager -Force -Latest<br /> <br /> *** BEST ***<br /> Repair-WinGetPackageManager -Force -Latest -AllUsers<br /> <br /> Test Installing Windows Terminal:<br /> winget install Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --source winget<br /> <br /> # winget install --scope user Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --source winget<br /> #(not supported) winget install --scope machine Microsoft.WindowsTerminal --source winget<br /> <br /> === Install from Microsoft Store ===<br /> <br /> Microsoft Store calls it App Installer (instead of WinGet??), and it is not searchable?? Have to find it on the online store here:<br /> <br /> App Installer<br /> https://www.microsoft.com/p/app-installer/9nblggh4nns1<br /> <br /> AI says you can't find it in the Microsoft Store because:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> Winget (Windows Package Manager) isn't directly searchable in the Microsoft Store because it's delivered as part of the App Installer package, which is often pre-installed but might be outdated or broken; the key is that the command-line tool winget handles app management, but its own core components need to be updated through the Store or command line when it's problematic, leading to a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation that requires manual updates or specific commands to fix. <br /> <br /> Why it seems missing or unsearchable:<br /> * It's bundled: winget isn't a separate app in the Store; it's a feature of the &quot;App Installer&quot;.<br /> * Outdated default: New Windows installs often have an old App Installer that can't update itself, requiring manual intervention.<br /> * Async registration: It only becomes available after you've logged into Windows once, triggering the Store to register it.<br /> * Search issues: Sometimes, internal Store issues or ISV blocks prevent searching for the App Installer or packages within it. <br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> === Install WinGet from AppxPackage ===<br /> <br /> Install WinGet<br /> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/<br /> <br /> WinGet the Windows Package Manager 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.<br /> <br /> The WinGet command line tool is only supported on Windows 10 version 1809 (build 17763) or later. 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.
