A Quick Spinup WinGet Import File

Installs Firefox, Steam, some programming languages, .NET, Java, Paradox Launcher, and a few other things.

How is this legal?

It uses the Microsoft Windows Package Installer.

How do I use it?

Ensure you have winget installed. If you don't, (Like if you installed from an early version of Win10), get the App Installer from the Microsoft Store.

  1. Download the Zip file
  2. Unzip the Zip file
  3. Open up Powershell or Windows Terminal.
  4. cd ~\Downloads\winget-spinup-main
  5. winget install -i spinup-install.json -e

If you want to just use the Gaming Edition file, just double click it to run it. (But please, for the love of your own security, read it before you run it. You never know if I'm a nasty person.)

That'll do it. Just follow the prompts as the pop up.

What's it got?

There are two versions - "Gaming Edition" and the spinup json file. The spinup json is how I provision a Windows Computer -

Okay, but how do I update?

  1. Open Windows Terminal
  2. winget update --all --include-unknown

The last flag tells WinGet to get anything that doesn't have a verison number, in case you installed something outside of WinGet.
