How to Install UniGetUI on Windows

A step-by-step setup for Windows 10 and Windows 11: pick an install method, choose your package managers, and run the first update check.

Before You Start

UniGetUI needs 64-bit Windows 10 or Windows 11 and an internet connection. It does not replace your package managers — it drives them — so at least one back end has to be present. On a current Windows build that is already the case, because WinGet ships with the system.

Nothing else needs to be uninstalled first. If you previously used WingetUI, the newer UniGetUI release upgrades it in place and keeps your settings.

Two Ways to Install

Both end up with the same application.

Graphical Installer

Download from the release page, run the .exe, and follow three short prompts.

WinGet Command

Faster on a machine you are already configuring from Terminal. Copy the command below.

Portable Mode

Unpack the archive into any folder and run the executable — useful when you cannot install software.

Silent Deployment

The installer accepts standard silent switches, so it can be pushed with your existing tooling.

First-Run Setup

Three decisions decide how UniGetUI behaves from then on.

1. Select Package Managers

Turn on WinGet, Chocolatey, Scoop or PowerShell Gallery. Anything missing can be installed from this screen.

2. Set Update Checks

Decide how often UniGetUI looks for outdated packages, and whether it installs updates automatically.

3. Try One Package

Search for an app you already use, install it, and confirm it appears under Installed Packages.

Command-Line Install

				
					winget install --id MartiCliment.UniGetUI --exact --accept-source-agreements
				
			

Accept the source agreement once and WinGet handles the rest.

Installed and Running?
