PSChiaPlotter
A repo for powershell module that helps Chia Plotting.
Installation
Open a powershell as administrator and run the following command:
Install-Module -Repository PSGallery -Name PSChiaPlotterIf you want to update to the latest version, run this command:
Update-Module PSChiaPlotterSetup
Run this in Powershell one time to add the Chia.exe directory to your $ENV:Path in your profile script so that it is available every time you open powershell.
$addToProfile = '
$chiapath = (get-item "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Chia-Blockchain\app-*\resources\app.asar.unpacked\daemon\").fullname
$env:Path = $env:Path + "; $chiapath"
'
Add-Content -Path $profile.CurrentUserAllHosts -Value $addToProfileIf you get an error stating "Add-Content : Could not find a part of the path "C:\Users\yourUSERNAME\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\profile.ps1"." Then you made need to create any missing folders in that path.
If you want a very basic chia scripting file for parallel plotting with delays you can use the one below. Chia.exe directory must be added to $ENV:Path as shown below.
