Installing WhatsApp Desktop from the Console

Related to WhatsApp Desktop for Mac or PC cannot only chat but also voice and video call: installing WhatsApp from the command-line.
That was easy to do via winget:
c:\temp>winget install -e --id WhatsApp.WhatsApp Found WhatsApp [WhatsApp.WhatsApp] Version 2.2222.12 This application is licensed to you by its owner. Microsoft is not responsible for, nor does it grant any licenses to, third-party packages. Downloading https://web.whatsapp.com/desktop/windows/release/x64/WhatsAppSetup.exe ██████████████████████████████ 145 MB / 145 MB Successfully verified installer hash Starting package install... Successfully installed
This was a while ago, so the version number by now is dated, but it is about the command winget install -e --id WhatsApp.WhatsApp
Via:
- [Wayback/Archive] whatsapp desktop microsoft store – Recherche Google
- [Wayback/Archive] WhatsApp Desktop – Microsoft Store Apps which shows one of the IDs at the end of the URL:
https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/whatsapp-desktop/9NKSQGP7F2NH - [Wayback/Archive] Download and install WhatsApp with winget which shows the easier to use ID that I used above.
