PowerShell, programmatically check if a Store App (.appx) is installed

Question

How would I check, in PowerShell, if a specific Windows Store App is installed? Specifically, I need to test whether the Microsoft "Terminal" app is currently installed.

Thanks. My understanding of .appx packages is very primitive. I've now used if ((Get-AppPackage).Name -like "*Terminal*") { <do-stuff> } and that seems ok (unless you have a more efficient syntax?). — YorSubs

Make sure to use the -AllUsers option to ensure you search all packages:

# if ((Get-AppPackage -AllUsers).Name -like "*WindowsTerminal*") {$True}
True
