Description

Prerequisites

  • I am running the latest code. Mention the version if possible as well.
  • I carefully followed the README.md.
  • I searched using keywords relevant to my issue to make sure that I am creating a new issue that is not already open (or closed).
  • I reviewed the Discussions, and have a new and useful enhancement to share.

Feature Description

On macos/linux, user can install a pre-built version llama.cpp easily via brew

It would be nice to have the equivalent to that on windows, via winget

Motivation

The pre-built binary is already available via releases: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/releases

It would be nice to somehow push them to https://winget.run/

However, I'm not familiar with working on windows, so I create this issue to further discuss and to look for help from the community.

Possible Implementation

No response
