Scoop [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/deevus/scoop/branch/master)
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows.
|
|
|
|
Requirements:
|
|
|
|
* [PowerShell 3](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34595)
|
|
* PowerShell must be enabled for your user account e.g. `set-executionpolicy unrestricted -s cu`
|
|
|
|
To install:
|
|
|
|
iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://get.scoop.sh')
|
|
|
|
Once installed, run `scoop help` for instructions.

What does Scoop do?
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Scoop installs programs from the command line with a minimal amount of friction. It tries to eliminate things like:
|
|
* Permission popup windows
|
|
* GUI wizard-style installers
|
|
* Path pollution from installing lots of programs
|
|
* Unexpected side-effects from installing and uninstalling programs
|
|
* The need to find and install dependencies
|
|
* The need to perform extra setup steps to get a working program
|
|
|
|
Scoop is very scriptable, so you can run repeatable setups to get your environment just the way you like, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
scoop install sudo
|
|
sudo scoop install 7zip git openssh --global
|
|
scoop install curl grep sed less tail touch
|
|
scoop install python ruby go perl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you've built software that you'd like others to use, Scoop is an alternative to building an installer (e.g. MSI or InnoSetup)—you just need to zip your program and provide a JSON manifest that describes how to install it.

What sort of apps can Scoop install?
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The apps that install best with Scoop are commonly called "portable" apps: i.e. compressed program files that run stand-alone when extracted and don't have side-effects like changing the registry or putting files outside the program directory.
|
|
|
|
Since installers are common, Scoop supports them too (and their uninstallers).
|
|
|
|
Scoop is also great at handling single-file programs and Powershell scripts. These don't even need to be compressed. See the [runat](https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/blob/master/bucket/runat.json) package for an example: it's really just a GitHub gist. |
