Installation methods

1. Self-Extraction Installer (EXE) [Recommended] :
   • The preferred method
   • Automatically closes PowerToys and extracts files to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Plugins
   • Automatically launches PowerToys after install if PT is install at one of the two default locations
2. Manual Installation (ZIP) :
   1. Exit Powertoys
   2. Extract the folder in the zip file to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Plugins
   3. Restart PowerToys
3. WinGet : winget install lin-ycv.EverythingPowerToys
   • WinGet comes preinstalled with Windows 11 and Windows 10 version 1809+
   • All WinGet package requires manual review from Microsoft; therefore when a new release is published, there's a delay before it becomes available.
   • Winget dependencies will check for Powertoys (but not the latest version)
     • If there are breaking changes on the latest version of PT, you'll have to update it manually.
     • This is due to how WinGet packages get validated. Listing a dependency version that has not been published yet causes validation to fail, delaying the review process.

   Everything is NOT listed as a dependency, as you can choose to use either 1.4 : winget install voidtools.Everything or 1.5a : winget install voidtools.Everything.Alpha

4. Chocolatey : choco install everythingpowertoys
   • Chocolatey needs to be installed separately
   • Chocolatey packages also need a review process, but it's automated, and usually approved within 6 hours.
   • Chocolately dependencies will only check for Everything 1.4, as 1.5a is not available on chocolatey, and the PowerToys Chocolately package does not install when listed as a dependency (#55)

Plugin settings for Everything in PT Run will appear at the bottom instead of the usual position at the top.

For methods 1 and 2, both Everything and PowerToys needs to be installed seperately *This plugin does not work with the lite version of Everything, lite does not support IPC if you are on 1.5 alpha, you need to Disable alpha Instance, read https://github.com/lin-ycv/EverythingPowerToys/issues/74#issuecomment-1892511067 if you're on ARM, read this: https://github.com/lin-ycv/EverythingPowerToys/issues/45#issuecomment-1564063496
