age – Command-line note

Deploy the age encryption tool on Windows endpoints silently using winget for scalable enterprise automation: winget install --id FiloSottile.age --silent --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements.
This places the age and age-keygen binaries in %LOCALAPPDATA%MicrosoftWinGetPackagesFiloSottile.age_Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe, which you can add to system PATH via GPO or Intune scripts; no MSI properties or transforms are needed as it’s a portable binary distribution.
