Package Manager is distributed through the Microsoft Store:

Please note that WSL 2 needs to be activated and running. Managing apps in WSL 1 should work but hasn't been tested.

• Support dependencies: Currently dpkg and rpm are used to install packages. Both doesn't support dependency resolution.

• Support more package formats:

  • Alpine packages (apk)

  • Arch packages (ar)

• Advanced package management:

  • Extract/View instead of install or uninstall
