PackageManagement (OneGet) is Microsoft's package manager for Windows, shipped as a PowerShell module that unifies software installation through provider plug-ins. It is now in maintenance mode, receiving only high-priority bug fixes, with PowerShellGet and the community AnyPackage project suggested as successors.
Use cases
- install software packages from powershell
- manage windows package sources
- uninstall applications via command line
- find available packages on windows
- write a custom package provider
- unify chocolatey and other installers under one interface
When to choose
- you need the built-in Windows 10 / Server 2016 package management cmdlets
- you are scripting software installation in PowerShell on Windows
- you rely on existing OneGet providers like Chocolatey or MSI
When to avoid
- you want an actively developed package manager - use PowerShellGet or AnyPackage instead
- you need new features or provider improvements
- you are primarily on Linux or macOS without PowerShell Core
