The link provided by @Karl-WE is really good, but I recently added some adjustments due to some errors.
To handle them I use these two lines:

Add-AppxPackage -RegisterByFamilyName -MainPackage Microsoft.Winget.Source_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Add-AppPackage -path "https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix."
