ngrok is now available in the Microsoft Store

We're excited to announce that ngrok is now available in the Microsoft Store as an official installation method. If you’re on Windows, we encourage you to switch to this version as soon as possible.

Using the Microsoft Store version of ngrok gives you and your system administrators confidence the binary they're getting is secure and up to date. It also means you get automatic updates and ensures compatibility with application management tools and Windows Defender antivirus software.

Since we're in the Microsoft store, we're also available through WinGet:

winget install ngrok -s msstore

This will fetch from the same source as the Microsoft Store with the same benefits. Note that the ngrok version listed in the winget-pkgs repo (Ngrok. Ngrok) is out of date and shouldn't be used. We're working to get that package updated as well.

Added Scoop support

We’re also happy to add support for the Scoop package manager as well. Scoop installs programs you know and love from the command line with a minimal amount of friction. To quickly install with Scoop, use the following command:

scoop install ngrok

This install does not pull from the Microsoft store and instead uses our pre-packaged binaries. If you run into issues with this installation, we recommend you try to use the Microsoft Store or WinGet methods to install.
