Package Manager Status

📦 Package Manager Status

Cmder can be installed through the package managers below. The latest GitHub release remains the source of truth for release assets, checksums, and portable archives.

TODO/TBA links: Links marked TBA are placeholders for package registry pages or manifest locations that should be replaced with the final public URLs once each package listing is published. Planning and coordination belong in cmderdev/cmder#3094, not on this wiki page.

✅ Quick Install

Package manager	Full Cmder	Mini Cmder	Package page
🪟 WinGet	winget install Cmder.Cmder	winget install Cmder.CmderMini	WinGet manifests
🍫 Chocolatey	choco install cmder	choco install cmdermini	Chocolatey packages
🥄 Scoop	scoop install cmder-full	scoop install cmder	Scoop Main bucket

TODO/TBA links: If a command links to a TBA page or a manifest path that does not exist yet, replace it with the registry's live package page after publication. The table should always point users to installable package entries.

🪟 WinGet

WinGet packages are published from Cmder release archives:

Package	Command	Release asset	Manifest
Cmder full	winget install Cmder.Cmder	cmder.zip	TBA: Cmder.Cmder
Cmder mini	winget install Cmder.CmderMini	cmder_mini.zip	TBA: Cmder.CmderMini

TODO/TBA links: Replace the TBA manifest links with the accepted microsoft/winget-pkgs manifest folders after the WinGet submissions are merged. Keep this section focused on user installation commands and package identity.

🍫 Chocolatey

Chocolatey packages provide the standard Cmder and mini variants:

Package	Command	Package page	Source
Cmder full	choco install cmder	Chocolatey Cmder	TBA: package source
Cmder mini	choco install cmdermini	Chocolatey cmdermini	TBA: package source

TODO/TBA links: Replace the TBA source links with the final Chocolatey package source repository or folder once package ownership/source layout is settled. End users should only need the package pages and commands here.

🥄 Scoop

Scoop packages are available from the main Scoop bucket:

Package	Command	Manifest	Bucket
Cmder full	scoop install cmder-full	cmder-full.json	ScoopInstaller/Main
Cmder mini	scoop install cmder	cmder.json	ScoopInstaller/Main

TODO/TBA links: If Cmder ever publishes an additional official Scoop bucket, add it here as an install option and keep the ScoopInstaller/Main links for users who prefer the default bucket.

🔎 Choosing A Package

Need	Recommended package
Full Cmder experience with bundled Git for Windows	Cmder full
Smaller Cmder install without bundled Git	Cmder mini
Windows' built-in package-manager workflow	WinGet
Scripted Windows software management	Chocolatey
Lightweight portable app management	Scoop

TODO/TBA links: Keep recommendation links pointed at stable user-facing documentation. If a package-manager registry adds a better product page later, update the link target without adding coordination notes here.
