### Powertoys winget manifest definition:
|
|
[winget repository](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/m/Microsoft/PowerToys)
|
|
|
|
### How to test a winget installation locally:
|
|
1. Get artifacts from release CI pipeline Pipelines - Runs for PowerToys Signed YAML Release Build, or you can build one yourself by execute the
|
|
'tools\build\build-installer.ps1' script
|
|
|
|
2. Get the artifact hash, this is required to define winget manifest
|
|
```powershell
|
|
cd /path/to/your/directory/contains/installer
|
|
Get-FileHash -Path ".\<Installer-name>.exe" -Algorithm SHA256
|
|
```
|
|
3. Host your installer.exe - Attention: staged github release artifacts or artifacts in release pipeline is not OK in this step
|
|
You can self-host it or you can upload to a publicly available endpoint
|
|
**How to selfhost it** (A extremely simple way):
|
|
```powershell
|
|
python -m http.server 8000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Download a version folder from wingetpkgs like: [version 0.92.1](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/m/Microsoft/PowerToys/0.92.1)
|
|
and you get **a folder contains 3 yml files**
|
|
>note: Do not put any files other than these three in this folder
|
|
|
|
5. Modify the yml files based on your version and the self hosted artifact link, and modify the sha256 hash for the installer you'd like to use
|
|
|
|
6. Start winget install:
|
|
```powershell
|
|
#execute as admin
|
|
winget settings --enable LocalManifestFiles
|
|
winget install --manifest "<folder_path_of_manifest_files>" --architecture x64 --scope user
|
|
``` |
