wid – Fast, free and lightweight package installer for Windows
# πŸš€ wid – Fast, lightweight and free package installer for Windows wid is a package installer for Windows, written in Rust. It brings the philosophy of apt and pacman to Windows, but it doesn’t resolve dependencies β€” instead, it uses scraping to find the latest versions. β€” ## ✨ Features - πŸ¦€ Written in Rust – memory-safe, zero-cost, ultra-fast. - ⚑ ~2 MB RAM – much lighter than winget, choco, or scoop. - 🌐 Direct TCP + rustls – achieves ~99% bandwidth (no BITS, no Schannel). - πŸ•΅οΈ Scraping – extracts real `.exe` and `.msi` links from HTML pages (e.g., VSCode, Firefox). - πŸ“¦ No dependency resolution – leaves that to the app’s own installer, eliminating a major source of fragility. - πŸ“ You control the repository – `sources.list` is a simple text file you manage yourself. - πŸ”“ GPL v3 – fully free and open-source. β€” ## πŸ“₯ Installation Download `wid_installer.exe` from GitHub Releases [https://github.com/Z.eSystem-Inc/wid/releases] and run it. β€” ## πŸ› οΈ Usage ```bash wid update # Update the package list wid search <keyword> # Search the repository wid install <app> # Download and install an app wid upgrade <app> # Check for updates and upgrade if available wid clean # Clean temporary files
