Scoop – The original Windows software installation can also be done with one click!

  • Do you suffer from “hard disk cleanliness”, always thinking before installing software/environment, afraid of contaminating their computer, unable to clean uninstall?
  • Are you used to the one-click installation of Linux package manager and the tedious installation steps of Windows?
  • Do you want to be like the Matrix, where you can install a bunch of software just by clicking on a keyboard?

Scoop You deserve it!

What is Scoop?

Scoop is a package manager for Windows that can automatically install and uninstall software on the command line. For those of you who have used Ubuntu, installing the software requires a single command:

apt-get install xxxx
Copy the code

And Scoop is apt-get for Windows!

Take DBeaver, which I installed yesterday.

  • This is the normal installation process: Baidu search – enter the official website – find the download address – wait for the slow download speed – click install – carefully click next…
  • Here is the Scoop installation process: Open the command line and type:
scoop search dbeaver
scoop install dbeaver
Copy the code

Then you can easily and happily see this thing lying on your start menu

Run the installation

Scoop is also very simple to install. After securing PowerShell 5 and.NET Framework 4.5 or later, type:

# Set allows local users to perform script - ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned - scope CurrentUser iwr - useb get. Run. Sh | iexCopy the code

Once installed, let’s try it out:

scoop help
Copy the code

The picture shows success!

Adding common buckets

What is a Bucket? Why is scoop installed in one step? This is because Scoop executes pre-set scripts, and a Bucket is a software library containing a set of installation scripts for software. Whenever we install software in Scoop, Scoop first looks for the software in all our local buckets and then installs it according to the software.

When you first install Scoop, there should be only one “main” bucket. Here are a few common buckets that you can install using Scoop bucket add XXX.

  • extrasThe main extension includes some graphical software.
  • versions: If you want to download different versions of environments such as Python, they are here.

Some common commands

  • scoop install: Mandatory command, install software in bucket (what would you do with it without this command)
  • scoop list: You can view the list of installed software.
  • scoop uninstall: Uninstalls the installed software.
  • scoop searchYou can search software at your local buckets.

    As I enterscoop search python, Scoop happily showed me these things:

conclusion

In summary, Scoop, as a package manager on Windows, has the following characteristics:

  • Install the portable
  • Uninstall the pure
  • Easier to manage

Belong to developers must have software, this here strong Amway!
