Winget

Winget is the simplest way to install Weaver’s Windows package from the command line and keep it up to date through Windows Package Manager.

Install

Section titled “Install”

Open PowerShell or Windows Terminal and run:

Windows PowerShell
winget install --id ScryerMedia.Weaver --exact

Launch Weaver from the Start Menu after installation. Its tray application starts and supervises the server, then makes the interface available at http://localhost:9090.

The first time you open Weaver, follow the setup wizard to choose its access mode and network reach.

Upgrade

Section titled “Upgrade”

Weaver has no in-app upgrade, so Winget is the upgrade path for this install. The package installs per-machine, so run it from an administrator PowerShell:

Windows PowerShell
winget upgrade --id ScryerMedia.Weaver --exact
  1. Exit Weaver first. Right-click the tray icon and choose Exit. The installer stops the tray itself if you skip this, but exiting cleanly lets the server finish writing.
  2. Run the upgrade from the elevated shell above.
  3. Launch Weaver from the Start Menu. A Winget install is silent, and silent installs never start the tray or open a browser.
  4. Re-enable Start at sign-in from the tray menu if you used it. The installer removes the old version’s startup entry during the upgrade.

Confirm the new version under System Info in the left navigation.

Do not install the MSI from a GitHub release over a Winget install. Keep one package manager per machine.

Uninstall

Section titled “Uninstall”
Windows PowerShell
winget uninstall --id ScryerMedia.Weaver --exact

Uninstalling the application does not replace a backup. Preserve your Weaver data directory if you plan to reinstall or migrate the instance.
