# 
~~Scoop~~ Shovel [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Ash258/shovel)  
Command-line installer for Windows
## Goals
Scriptable, user-friendly command line installation of applications with a minimal amount of friction.
- Eliminate permission/UAC popup
- Avoid GUI wizard-style installers
- Use [winget][winget] for interactive installations
- Do not pollute `PATH`
- Skip unexpected side-effects from installing and uninstalling programs
- Applications installed by Shovel usually do not execute application specific installers
- If you are looking for command line tool for executing application specific installers, refer to [winget][winget] or [chocolatey][choco]
- Dependencies resolving for other Shovel installed applications
```powershell
shovel install gsudo
sudo shovel install --global 7zip git openssh
shovel install aria2 curl grep sed less touch
shovel install python ruby go perl
shovel install extras/firefox
```
## Requirements
- Windows 10 / Windows Server 2012+
- Older systems might work, but will not receive support
- [PowerShell 5](https://aka.ms/wmf5download)
- [PowerShell 7 should be preferred when possible](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-core-on-windows?view=powershell-7)
- [.NET Framework 4.7.2](https://www.microsoft.com/net/download)
- PowerShell must be enabled for your user account e.g. `Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser`
## Installation
[Refer to the new installer to install base scoop.](https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Install#scoop-uninstaller)
As soon as base scoop is installed do the following:
1. `scoop install 7zip git`
1. `scoop config SCOOP_REPO 'https://github.com/Ash258/Scoop-Core'`
1. `scoop update`
1. `scoop status`
1. `scoop checkup`
Once installed, run `scoop help` for additional information.
## Multi-connection downloads with `aria2`
Shovel can utilize [`aria2`](https://github.com/aria2/aria2) to use multi-connection downloads.
Simply install `aria2` through Shovel and it will be used for all downloads afterward.
```powershell
shovel install aria2
```
Refer to `shovel help config` how to adjust aria2 specific configuration.
## Applications installed by Shovel
The applications that install best with Shovel are commonly called "portable" applications: i.e. compressed program files that run stand-alone when extracted and do not have side-effects like changing the registry or putting files outside the program directory.
Since installers are common, Shovel supports them too (and their uninstallers).
Shovel is also great at handling single-file programs and PowerShell scripts.
These do not even need to be compressed.
See the [runat](https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/blob/master/bucket/runat.json) package for an example. It is really just a GitHub gist.
