Установка windows terminal на windows server

As you might know, I am a huge fan of the Windows Terminal, and since Windows Server 2022 by default does not include the Windows Terminal, I wanted to quickly show you how you can install the Windows Terminal on Windows Server 2022.

How to install Windows Terminal on Windows Server 2022

Luckily, we can simply download the MSIX bundle from the Windows Terminal GitHub release page. You can also run the following PowerShell command to download the file (Make sure you change the Uri to the latest version).

# Install Prerequisites
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://aka.ms/Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop.appx -outfile Microsoft.VCLibs.x86.14.00.Desktop.appx
Add-AppxPackage Microsoft.VCLibs.x86.14.00.Desktop.appx

# Download Terminal (Change version)
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases/download/v1.7.1091.0/Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.7.1091.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle -outfile Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.7.1091.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle

Now you can run the following PowerShell command to add the msixbudle and install the Windows Terminal on Windows Server 2022.

Add-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_<versionNumber>.msixbundle

In my example this would be:

Add-AppxPackage -Path .\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.7.1091.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle

Keep in mind, when you install the Windows Terminal manual like this, it will not automatically update itself.

Windows Terminal это новый терминал для удобной работы с утилитами командной строки и оболочками cmd.exe, powershell. Терминал поддерживает вкладки, панели, настройку собственных профилей, стилей и конфигураций. Если у вас установлен WSL или Azure Cloud Shell, оболочки для этих сред автоматически добавляются в консоль Windows Terminal.

Консоль Windows Terminal предустановлена в Windows 11 и Windows 10 22 H2. В остальных версиях Windows его нужно устанавливать вручную. Microsoft рекомендует устанавливать Windows Terminal через Microsoft Store, в этом случае вы гарантированно получите последнюю версию терминала, которая будет обновляться автоматически (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal/9n0dx20hk701?activetab=pivot:overviewtab).

Если у вас отключен, отсутствует или поврежден Microsoft Store (например, в Windows 10 LTSC или в Windows Server 2022), вы можете установить Windows Terminal:

• Вручную скачайте последний релиз Windows Terminal с GitHub и установите файл MSIX в Windows;
• Воспользуйтесь менеджером пакетов Chocolatey или WinGet.

Чтобы вручную установить Windows Terminal, нужно скачать msixbundle пакет с официальной страницы проекта на GitHub https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases. Найдите последний релиз терминала для вашей версии Windows в разделе Asset и скачайте файл.

Можно скачать файл с помощью командлета Invoke-WebRequest:

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases/download/v1.16.10261.0/Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_Win10_1.16.10261.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle

Установите пакет в Windows с помощью командлета Add-AppxPackage:

Add-AppxPackage -Path .\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_Win10_1.16.10261.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle

Проверьте, что пакет успешно установился:

Get-AppxPackage *WindowsTerminal* -AllUsers

При ручной установке Windows Terminal в старых версиях Windows 10 может появиться ошибка:

Add-AppPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF3, Package failed updates, dependency or conflict validation.
Windows cannot install package Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_Win10_1.16.10261.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle because this package depends on a framework that could not be found. Provide the framework "Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop" published by "CN=Microsoft Corporation, O=Microsoft Corporation, L=Redmond, S=Washington, C=US", with neutral or x64 processor architecture and minimum version 14.0.30035.0, along with this package to install. The frameworks with name "Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop" currently installed are .....

Перед установкой пакета Microsoft.WindowsTerminal нужно скачать и установить фреймворк VCLibs. Скачайте пакет VCLibs с официальной страницы загрузки (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/developer/visualstudio/cpp/libraries/c-runtime-packages-desktop-bridge) и установите его с помощью команды:

Add-AppPackage .\Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop.appx
При установке пакета Microsoft.WindowsTerminal в Windows Server 2019 или 2016 появляется ошибка:

Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CFD, A Prerequisite for an install could not be satisfied.
Windows cannot install package Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.16.10261.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe because this package is not compatible with the device. The package requires OS version 10.0.19041.0 or higher on the Windows.Mobile device family. The device is currently running OS version 10.0.17763.107.

Как вы видите, пакет проверяет ОС при установке. Для установки Windows Terminal нужен билд не ниже Windows 1903 (10.0.18362.0). Таким образом, установить Windows Terminal на Windows Server 2019 не удастся.

Если у вас появляется ошибка 0x80073CFD в Windows 10, попробуйте установить обновления или использовать более раннюю версию Microsoft.WindowsTerminal.

Также вы можете скачать и установить последнюю версию пакета Microsoft.WindowsTerminal с помощью менеджера пакетов WinGet:

winget install --id=Microsoft.WindowsTerminal -e

Или с помощью chocolatey:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
choco install microsoft-windows-terminal

Можно установить старую версию пакета:
choco install -y microsoft-windows-terminal --version 1.12.10732.0

ERROR: This package requires at least Windows 10 version 1903/OS build 18362.x.
The install of microsoft-windows-terminal was NOT successful.
Error while running 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\microsoft-windows-terminal\tools\chocolateyInstall.ps1'.

Для запуска Windows Terminal выполните команду:

wt.exe

Microsoft has made its new terminal for multiple shells and command line programs available as a Store app. However, if you want to install the package with PowerShell because, for example, there is no Store app on Windows Server or Windows 10 LTSC, you’ll get an error message due to a missing library.

Windows Terminal is supposed to replace the old environment for CLIs like cmd.exe or PowerShell. It offers, among other things, support for tabs, numerous options for configuring its appearance, or assigning keyboard shortcuts.

While the new terminal is already on board of Windows 11, you have to install it in Windows 10 or on the server. On a client, the preferred method is to download it from the Microsoft Store. However, the method described here also works on these Windows versions.

Download MSIX

If the Store app is not available on the system, the only option is to download the package from GitHub and install it using PowerShell. This does not require elevated privileges because the MSIX package is set up separately for each user.

There are always multiple versions of Windows Terminal available on GitHub. As a rule, you will opt for Latest, i.e., the current GA release. There, you select the file

Microsoft.WindowsTerminal Win10 <Version> 8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle.

The packages with «PreinstallKit.zip» in their names are intended for offline integration into a Windows image.

Adding VCLibs

Before you start the installation, you have to create one more prerequisite; otherwise, you will receive error message 0x80073D19.

The reason for this is the missing library VCLibs. This can be downloaded for the respective processor architecture from this page.

Then, run this PowerShell command:

Add-AppxPackage -Path .\Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop.appx

If you want to install Windows Terminal on Server Core, you will fail at this point. Even if the server OS is managed mostly remotely, a modern terminal would be particularly useful in a pure command line environment.

Installing Windows Terminal

Now, you can proceed to the actual installation of the terminal. The Add-AppxPackage cmdlet is also used for this purpose:

Add-AppxPackage -Path .\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_Win10_<Version>_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle

The process should now run without further problems, but only on version 2022. The installation on Windows Server 2019 fails showing the message:

0x80073CFD, A Prerequisite for an install could not be satisfied … The package requires OS version 10.0.22000.0 or higher on the Windows.Mobile device family.

Once successfully installed, the terminal can be found and launched via a desktop search.

Conclusion

Since Microsoft provides Windows Terminal only as a store app, you have to install it manually if your systems do not have access to the store. This can be done via PowerShell, but you must set up the VCLibs library first.

However, this is not possible on Windows Server Core. Therefore, Windows Terminal is not available on this system, which is limited to the command line and might benefit the most from a modern CLI. Apparently, there are no plans to change this state. The situation is similar for Windows Server 2019, where VCLibs can be installed, but the terminal is not supported.

Microsoft has developed a new Command-Line program for Windows. The program is designed to become an integrated environment for access to environments such as PowerShell, CMD, and WSL (Microsoft’s Linux subsystem). Microsoft is also adding functionalities such as support for multiple tabs in the new terminal, as well as customization for developers who want to upgrade the terminal. Windows Terminal supports GPU Based Text Rendering. In this article, we are going to teach you How to Install Windows Terminal on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2019. You can see the packages available in Eldernode if you want to buy a Windows VPS server.

Windows has placed its terminal emulator as an open-source on GitHub. In this tutorial, we’ll use the Chocolatey package manager for this installation. Stay tuned for the rest of this article.

How to Install Chocolatey on Windows

First, you should ensure that you are using an administrative shell. Run PowerShell as administrator:

Then, Type and run the command below:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))   

In the next section, the installation begins. Wait for the installation to complete:

You should not receive any errors, because your installation process is done correctly. Use Getting Started to use the following commands:

choco  

or

choco -?  

It’s time to use choco to install the Windows terminal.

Install Windows Terminal on windows 10 | server 2019

After you were able to successfully install Chocolatey on Windows in the previous section, now we want to discuss how to install the Windows terminal. To do this, just follow the steps below.
