# Cmder Installer

This repository was created as a wrapper around my favorite terminal emulator [Cmder](https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder).

The goal is to distribute it to [winget](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/) and make it available with the new Windows Package Manager. Cmder is a portable application and to create the MSIX package, we needed to create an installer to include the vendor resources.

## Instructions

### Prerequisites

1. The [latest release](https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/releases) archive of Cmder.
1. [NSIS](https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Main_Page) installed.

### Steps
