winget is like apt-get but for Windows. If you are using a normal Win-10 you should already have it.

It might be important for some people to know that the installation path can not be customized in an easy path. You can give it as parameter when installing but you can't give a different default installation path for normal applications, only for portable applications. At least, it seemed that way to me when I tried to "fix" the default installation path.
