Thorium Setup with Winget

[Bush-cat]

When I discover new Software, first thing I do is install them using a package manager like in Linux, at the moment I use winget from Microsoft, before I used Chocolatey. They make installing and updating Software easy, I really like this Browser and it would be cool if you could install it with winget from the terminal

I already added Thorium to winget in PR (microsoft/winget-pkgs#122961) you can install it using winget install Alex313031.Thorium and you can choose scope in which you want to install it. Install scopes are machine which is for system wide install and user which is only for the currently logged in use.

For machine scope you can use winget install Alex313031.Thorium --scope machine
For user scope you can use winget install Alex313031.Thorium --scope user
If you don't specify the scope I cannot tell you how the Thorium will be installed.

But the updates in the repo are done manually for now because I haven't looked into automating it.

For now I'll try to update it as soon as I get email notification about new releases of thorium from github.

Hello @krystofkrticka, there is a way to automate to install latest release when it released in the releases, so that you don't have to bother updating the URL every time a new release is sent.

The below Link download the latest version of thorium_mini_installer.exe from the Releases tab.
https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium-Win/releases/latest/download/thorium_mini_installer.exe
