yq – Command-line note

For silent enterprise deployment of yq on Windows, download the portable yq_windows_amd64.exe binary from GitHub releases (e.g., https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/releases/latest/download/yq_windows_amd64.exe), place it in C:Program Filesyq, and add this path to the system PATH via Group Policy or script—no installer, MSI, or UI involved. This enables scalable automation with PowerShell: Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $target; New-Item -Path $dir -ItemType Directory -Force; Move-Item $target $binPath; icacls $binPath /grant "Everyone:R". Verify with yq --version post-deployment.
