I've tried installing the terminal via cmd using Chocolatey but I get an error:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> choco install microsoft-windows-terminal
Chocolatey v0.10.11
Installing the following packages:
microsoft-windows-terminal
By installing you accept licenses for the packages.
microsoft-windows-terminal not installed. The package was not found with the source(s) listed.
 Source(s): 'https://msazure.pkgs.visualstudio.com/_packaging/Bootstrap/nuget/v2/;https://vstfdt/tfs/CEDialtone/_packaging/Bootstrap/nuget/v2'
 NOTE: When you specify explicit sources, it overrides default sources.
If the package version is a prerelease and you didn't specify `--pre`,
 the package may not be found.
Please see https://chocolatey.org/docs/troubleshooting for more
 assistance.

Chocolatey installed 0/1 packages. 1 packages failed.
 See the log for details (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log).

It looks like your list of chcolatey sources is corrupted.

What is the relevant source? I think you could be a little more helpful

Sorry, trying to process these quickly. You know how triage goes.

Your choco error included the following:

Source(s): 'https://msazure.pkgs.visualstudio.com/_packaging/Bootstrap/nuget/v2/;https://vstfdt/tfs/CEDialtone/_packaging/Bootstrap/nuget/v2'

The default chocolatey source looks like (suggested by me running choco sources)

C:\Users\Dustin>choco sources
Chocolatey v0.10.15

chocolatey - https://chocolatey.org/api/v2/ | Priority 0|Bypass Proxy - False|Self-Service - False|Admin Only - False.

I'm not sure whether it lists only non-default sources in the error, but if it lists all sources it looks like your default's been removed. I'm not sure why/how that'd happen, unfortunately.
