@Trott NodeJS using winget works. Just the docs need to be updated. I don't understand what you are telling! If you explain more I would know.! |

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. All I did was notify the Node.js people who identify as Windows folks to determine whether the content here is correct and warrants adding to the website. I have no opinion myself because I am not a Windows user and don't know much about Windows package managers etc. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Seems like it might be fine, but would like clarification on expectations when running that command…

Hopefully, I've done a good job setting up expectations for Windows users (it may not be clear that this adds a Node.js folder to the Start menu; I've added a screencap below), and whoever maintains those are pleased w/ the result — would certainly hope these would continue to be synchronized w/ our releases and wonder if it's fully automated at this point, but in the interest of fairness, I don't imagine turning a PR like this away would be appropriate. Due to there being such a small representation of Windows users in our collaborator base, I guess it comes down to whether @ItzLevvie thinks it looks good to her or if there is anything else we could improve upon before merging this. |

cc @DerekNonGeneric: It looks good to me :) Node.js releases, such as Current and LTS, are automated by a few contributors using their own scripts in the winget-pkgs repository. |

Add winget (Official Package Manager for Windows) as an alternative install method for Windows. Also, the link at line #32 points to line #243 instead of line #353.
