That's the second time that that question came up today! Taught @LilAng about it just a few hours ago.

Chocolatey
Chocolatey is a package management system for the Windows NuGet packaging format. Analogous to YUM, APT, or DNF on Linux. Chocolatey is as close to official as it gets with Windows not quite having an official package manager. It's very powerful and useful, free, too.
You can install it with this command in PowerShell...
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
