Chocolatey VS Scoop

Authenticating with Kyma is a (in my opinion) unnecessary challenge as it leverages the OIDC-login plugin for kubectl. You find a description of the setup here. This works fine when on a Mac but can give you some headaches on a Windows and on Linux machine especially when combined with restrictive setups in corporate environments. For Windows I can only recommend installing krew via chocolatey and then install the OIDC plugin via kubectl krew install oidc-login. At least for me that was the only way to get this working on Windows.

On a Windows machine, you can use Chocolatey by running the command.

I've used WSL2 and GHC/Nix--worked without any issues. However, there is Chocolatey: https://chocolatey.org/

For OSX there is homebrew or pyenv (pyenv is another solution on Linux). As pyenv compiles from source it will require setting up XCode (the Apple IDE) tools to support this which can be pretty bulky. Windows users have chocolatey but the issue there is it works off the binaries. That means it won't have the latest security release available since those are source only. Conda is also another solution which can be picked up by Visual Studio Code as available versions of Python making development easier. In the end it might be best to consider using WSL on Windows for installing a Linux version and using that instead.

Type the following commands on the Windows terminal to install helm. You can use either Scoop a command-line installer for Windows or Chocolatey which is a Package Manager for Windows to install helm.

While you can install it in many ways, the easiest is using a package manager like Homebrew for macOS or chocolatey for Windows.

Package management is not a new concept in the software industry. On Linux distros, you manage software installation and removal with package managers such as YUM/RPM or APT. On Windows, you can use Chocolatey or Homebrew on Mac.

For Windows, use Chocolatey → choco install mkcert

Scoop is a command-line installer for Windows, aimed at making it easier for users to manage software installations and maintain a clean system. It's designed with developers and power users in mind but can be beneficial for any Windows user looking for an efficient way to manage software. Basically it makes our life easier when it comes to software installation of any sort. Scoop support installation for large number of software. Check it out here Scoop.

I update it with Brew on macOS and Scoop [1] on Windows (but I guess it is included in other package managers such as chocolatey).

Of course, a built-in auto-updater would be good, but a packaged version is a nice workaround for me.

There are a number of ways that you can install the Snyk CLI on your machine, ranging from using the available stand-alone executables to using package managers such as Homebrew for macOS and Scoop for Windows.

If you're on Windows you can try Scoop https://scoop.sh/#/apps

I suggest creating your own PowerShell scripts and distributing them via scoop, by making a steam deck bucket, some windows power users should be able to help, then just make a video on how to install those scripts, or try reaching out to Chris Titus on YT, he made a windows de-bloater tool using PowerShell scripts

Package managers in Linux have been around for soooo long. I hope it catches on for windows more and more - my favorite at the moment is scoop.sh

scoop for installing stuff that isn't already on windows' official package manager (winget) without the hassle

Thanks to [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/), installing Neovim, and all the necessary tools such as ripgrep, fd, bat, and even Alacritty is pretty easy in Windows, and although it doesn't feel nearly as fast as in a Linux machine, it is still very performant, especially when comparing it to Emacs and VSCode.
