Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows.
Scoop installs programs from the command line with a minimal amount of friction. It:
•Eliminates permission popup windows
•Hides GUI wizard-style installers
•Prevents PATH pollution from installing lots of programs
•Avoids unexpected side-effects from installing and uninstalling programs
•Finds and installs dependencies automatically
Run the following command from a non-admin PowerShell to install scoop to its default location C:\Users\ \scoop.
Advanced installation instruction and full documentation of the installer are available in ScoopInstaller/Install. Please create new issues there if you have questions about the installation.
Scoop can utilize aria2 to use multi-connection downloads. Simply install aria2 through Scoop and it will be used for all downloads afterward.
By default, scoop displays a warning when running scoop install or scoop update while aria2 is enabled. This warning can be suppressed by running scoop config aria2-warning-enabled false.
You can tweak the following aria2 settings with the scoop config command:
•aria2-enabled (default: true)
•aria2-warning-enabled (default: true)
•aria2-retry-wait (default: 2)
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).
The following buckets are known to scoop:
•main - Default bucket for the most common (mostly CLI) apps
•extras - Apps that don't fit the main bucket's criteria
•games - Open source/freeware games and game-related tools
•nerd-fonts - Nerd Fonts
•nirsoft - Almost all of the 250+ apps from Nirsoft
Many other application buckets hosted on Github can be found in the Scoop Directory or via other search engines.
