Installing Applications on Windows

generate repo cache file, this will update the winrepo git details

salt-run winrepo.update_git_repos

Then update the repository cache file on your minions, exactly how it's done for the Linux package managers:

salt wintarget pkg.refresh_db

check all packages on target

salt wintarget pkg.list_pkgs

check the available versions of NPP that are available for install

salt wintarget pkg.available_version npp

wintarget:

6.4.2

Install NPP on target

salt wintarget pkg.install 'npp'

(should be done in few seconds)

to uninstall NPP,

salt '*' pkg.remove 'npp'

salt '*' pkg.purge 'npp'

to add a single file (for example we want to place Putty.exe into C:\Putty) add this to the windows state file

## Putty

c:\putty\putty.exe:

file.managed:

- source: salt://win/repo/putty/putty.exe

- makedirs: True
