The native APIs for package management may be found on the Windows
`PackageManager <https://learn.microsoft.com/uwp/api/windows.management.deployment.packagemanager>`_
class. The :func:`!AddPackageAsync` method installs for the current user, or use
:func:`!StagePackageAsync` followed by :func:`!ProvisionPackageForAllUsersAsync`
to install the Python install manager for all users from the MSIX package. Users
will still need to install their own copies of Python itself, as there is no way
to trigger those installs without being a logged in user.
The latest release can be downloaded and installed by Windows by passing the
AppInstaller file to the Add-AppxPackage command. This installs using the MSIX
on python.org, and is only recommended for cases where installing via the Store
(interactively or using WinGet) is not possible.
.. code-block:: powershell
$> Add-AppxPackage -AppInstallerFile https://www.python.org/ftp/python/pymanager/pymanager.appinstaller
Other tools and APIs may also be used to provision an MSIX package for all users
on a machine, but Python does not consider this a supported scenario. We suggest
looking into the PowerShell `Add-AppxProvisionedPackage`_ cmdlet, the native
Windows `PackageManager`_ class, or the documentation and support for your
deployment tool.
Regardless of the install method, users will still need to install their own
copies of Python itself, as there is no way to trigger those installs without
being a logged in user. When using the MSIX, the latest version of Python will
be available for all users to install without network access.
Note that the MSIX downloadable from the Store and from the Python website are
subtly different and cannot be installed at the same time. Wherever possible,
we suggest using the above commands to download the package from the Store to
reduce the risk of setting up conflicting installs.
we suggest using the above WinGet commands to download the package from the
Store to reduce the risk of setting up conflicting installs. There are no
licensing restrictions on the Python install manager that would prevent using
the Store package in this way.
