# 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. Validate manifest with [validate](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/validate). `winget validate --manifest [FILENAME]`
|
