How to get started with OneGet on Windows 10 Technical Preview

Ill start this post off by saying, I am not a huge Windows fan, but due to my line of work, I must keep up with Windows as much as possible. One of the newest features which actually excites me is the addition of the windows command line package management system called OneGet which can be found in the latest versions of Powershell and Windows. If you are familiar with Linux based package management systems such as apt, yum, and ebuild then you can think of OneGet as the Windows version of these systems.

As of now, OneGet is available in Powershell version 5 which comes with Windows 10 Technical Preview. You can also utilize OneGet on Windows 8.1 if you upgrade Powershell to version 5 with the Windows Management Framework Preview which is available here.

In this tutorial, I will assume you are going the Windows 10 route as I find updating Windows to 8.1 to be too time consuming for my tastes.
