librewolf-winupdater VS Scoop

LibreWolf Portable and the LibreWolf WinUpdater by @ltguillaume are now included optionally in the windows installer. If you have any problems or feedback please leave it here.

use this: https://codeberg.org/ltguillaume/librewolf-winupdater

I hope you'll find the time to download the new PowerShell script from there, put it into the same folder as LibreWolf-WinUpdater.exe and try it out (right-click, "Run with PowerShell"). You can post your findings here or in the issue on Codeberg (or create a new one on GitHub if you already have an account there).

/u/AbrarFN The build process was changed, which also meant the download location was changed somewhat. I wasn't (made) aware of this until the new release was already online. I updated LibreWolf WinUpdater within the hour, you can get it from https://codeberg.org/ltguillaume/librewolf-winupdater/releases/latest or https://github.com/ltguillaume/librewolf-winupdater/releases/latest

Just use https://github.com/ltGuillaume/LibreWolf-WinUpdater for automatic updates.

Functionality is simply not implemented for some reason, but there are workarounds to that like using a package manager or installing the updater they recommend in their site

This is about the extension. Since u/DotaFSS was asking about an app, I assume his question was with regard to https://github.com/ltGuillaume/LibreWolf-WinUpdater

This won't update LibreWolf automatically. When a new version is released, you have to manually install the new setup.exe again. If you want to get notified when a new version is released, you can get the unofficial LibreWolf Updater extension You can also take a look at the unofficial LibreWolf-WinUpdater, which automatically updates LibreWolf on Windows when its not running.

Apparently it has some default settings that the mods don't agree with. If you do use it anyway make sure you keep it updated with your package manager on Linux or a tool like LibreWolf-WinUpdater on Windows.

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.
