Is it possible to use winget for installation? This makes it easier to install and upgrade

Hi,

I actually never used Winget before. I did a little research and according to winget-pkgs's README:

At this time installers must be MSIX, MSI, APPX, or .exe application installers. Script-based installers and fonts are not currently supported.

Pineapple Pictures doesn't have a decent installer for Windows for now, so I guess the first step will be to create an installer for Windows. I currently don't plan to create an installer for it because it seems NSIS script is a little bit complicated than I think and I don't have enough time to look into it. Contributions are welcome.

By the way, if you are also a Scoop user, I found out there is a third-party repo (bucket) that provides Pineapple Pictures so you don't need to wait.

HTH.
