> Package Manager for Windows
```plain
$ npm install -g prt
```
## Install Packages via `prt`
Just like other Package Managers
```plain
$ brew install node # MacOS
$ apt-get install nginx # Linux
$ npm install gulp # npm
```
```plain
$ prt install sublime_text
```
And then
```plain
$ sublime_text # would open it up
```
Or if you want to spawn the app, you can
```plain
$ prts subime_text # would not block
```
## Mechanism
Get-URL -> Download -> (Extract) -> Link-to-Path
## Todo & Cons
- Async processing
- Streaming download
- ProgressBar for download
- Version control
- More packages to include
- More testing
- Build/cache files division
- The implementation is very hack now
## Current Packages Included
- `nw` (nw.js, node-webkit)
- `electron`
- `mongodb`
- `sublime_text`
- `ffmpeg`
**We need your forks!**
## Why I Built this?
Sometimes I need to help friends install apps, in Windows. And what we have to do is always: visit a site, click a link, download sth, and then extract it or run a setup... Holy shit!
What if just a line of terminal command via homebrew, apt-get, etc?!
So I determined to bring such a package manager to Windows. But as you see, we have very few apps now. It's the very beginning.
