Winget Install
Winget Install is a command-line method for deploying Microsoft Foundry Local and its associated models using the Windows Package Manager (winget) via PowerShell. This installation approach leverages Windows’ native package management system to streamline the setup process for users working in Windows environments.
Installation Process
To install Microsoft Foundry Local using winget, users execute winget install Microsoft.FoundryLocal in a PowerShell terminal. This single command initiates the installation sequence, which automatically handles dependency resolution and file placement according to the package specifications defined in the Windows Package Manager repository.
Prerequisites and Environment
Users must have winget installed on their system, which is included by default in Windows 10 (version 1709 and later) and Windows 11. PowerShell is also required to execute the installation command. The winget-based installation method is particularly useful for users who manage multiple machines or prefer standardized deployment workflows through package managers.
