electric VS Scoop

I'm Tejas, a 15 year old developer. I currently code in Rust and Python, and am building Volt and previously released Electric.

If you take this route, take the opportunity to write down any customizations, and figure out a way to script them using PowerShell. For the applications you like to install, check out Chocolatey, electric, Ninite, PortableApps, and/or the new official Windows package manager (though this may be just Store apps, I've not used it). Maybe script the app installs so you can script the customizations for your apps, too.

The best part? Electric is open source github.com/electric-package-manager/electric! If you would like to support Electric development or find the project interesting, a ⭐ would be hugely appreciated!

Hey guys I'm Tejas a 14 year old.

Say hi to Electric! Website: https://electric.sh

Built over 9 months, Electric (Open Source) is the easiest and fastest way to install and manage software on Windows.

Electric allows you to install, uninstall and update any software using a simple command. Just open your terminal, and type `electric install s/w-name`! Boom, in a few seconds, the software will be installed on your PC. Electric is one of the first package managers which can install multiple software in parallel!

Electric runs the installer silently - you don't even see the installer popup! It goes through all those complicated menus so you don't have to and voila! Just like that, you've installed the software. Electric does the downloading, virus checking, installing and verifying if the software is installed correctly – with love, speed and accuracy.

Today electric has support for the 300 most popular software and it's growing each day. You can view all package electric can install at https://github.com/electric-package-manager/electric-package....

Electric is open source and it's built with a combination of Python and Rust. Some of the more performant components like the tab completion module and the installer (setting up web registry urls etc.) are written in Rust. Majority of the software however, is written in Python 3.

Here's the repository : https://github.com/electric-package-manager/electric

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.

Use a package manager! Assuming Windows (since it's the odd one out), get yourself some scoop then just scoop install openjdk. No need to navigate to a website, download bundleware, click next-next-next and accidentally install a virus like some caveman from 1997. This has been a solved problem since ancient times!

Should be easy enough, I installed neovim on my windows machine with scoop (you can even get nightly if you want), it's basically a one line install. You can also do a manual install if you want, but you don't have to. It took a little fiddling for me because I wanted to install scoop as well as all applications onto my D drive rather than my C drive, but nothing too crazy. I never got NvChad on my windows machine, but I do have it on linux, and siduck (the creator of nvchad) has given good instructions for installing even on windows, so i don't think it should be a problem. Also, there's a discord for nvchad, and siduck is pretty active on there if you want to ask questions. Good luck!

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.

So I tried installing scoop the "normal" way for both users then ran scoop install {app} --global as per https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Scoop/wiki/Global-Installs and got:Cannot find path 'C:\ProgramData\scoop\buckets' because it does not exist

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.

Scoop provides a wonderful foundation for creating a portable developer's toolkit on Windows systems.
