Easily install Scoop, a Windows package manager.

Primary LanguageBatchfile

EasyScoopInstaller.

This will install Scoop (A Windows package manager) all without administrator. Scoop does not need that, and it makes our install process more streamlined. This will also set up your system so you shouldn't get that many errors downloading that you would usually get.

For more information about what Scoop actually is, you can visit the main website.

Please be aware: This program does not do anything special, and errors may still happen. All this aims to do is save a user from opening PowerShell and pasting that semi-long string and provide some other (hopefully) useful features.

File List

download-scoop.bat

This will exicute downloadScoop.ps1 (a Power Shell script) that will actually initiate the instolation of Scoop. For security, you can't directly run scripts by running the PS1 script, so you have to run it with a batchfile to bypass it.

download-scoop.ps1

This will do 2 things.

  • Set your local exicution policy to allow untrusted programs. In this case, Scoop.
  • Actually download scoop using the command found on the website.

There are some other scripts, but the names of them should explain what they do.

I hope that this helps someone. Please feel free to make improvements if you have any and share this project around!
