How to install a package through WingetUI

Step 1: Launch WingetUI and search for Google Chrome

Start by launch WingetUI from the Start menu or by typing "WingetUI" in the taskbar's search box. Once launched, locate the search box at the top right corner of the WingetUI window. Type chrome (or the name of the software you plan on installing) in the search box (number 1) and press Enter. You will see Google Chrome as one of the results.

Now that the package has been located, simply right-click (number 2) on its name and select the first entry on the context menu, named Install (number 3).

You might see a confirmation dialog asking for administrator rights. If so, click "Yes" to confirm. You will see a progress bar showing the download and installation status of Google Chrome (number 5). Once the installation is complete, you will see a message saying "Google Chrome has been installed successfully" (number 6).
