WINDOWS PACKAGE MANAGER

One-Line Terminal Installation

Winget automatically detects your CPU architecture and installs the matching native binary. To explicitly force the native ARM64 build on Snapdragon laptops, append the --architecture arm64 flag.

Standard installation (auto-detects x64 / ARM64):

winget install aiVOLUTION.dotXPANDER

Explicitly target native ARM64:

winget install --id aiVOLUTION.dotXPANDER --architecture arm64

Direct package identifier: aiVOLUTION.dotXPANDER. Ideal for developers, repeatable workstation setups, and automated provisioning scripts.
