## Install on Windows

### Install for the current user

Install `sbx` using Windows Package Manager:

```powershell
winget install -h Docker.sbx
```

WinGet installs the per-user `DockerSandboxes.msi` package in
`%LOCALAPPDATA%\DockerSandboxes` and adds its `bin` directory to your user
`PATH`. You can install it without administrator privileges.

### Install for all users

For administrator-managed deployments, download
`DockerSandboxesMachine.msi` from the
[Docker Sandboxes releases](https://github.com/docker/sbx-releases/releases).
From an elevated PowerShell prompt, install the package silently:

```powershell
msiexec.exe /i DockerSandboxesMachine.msi /quiet
```

The machine-wide package installs in `%ProgramFiles%\DockerSandboxes` and adds
its `bin` directory to the system `PATH`.

A machine-wide upgrade might require restarting Windows if an `sbx` daemon in
another user's session is using the installed files.
