### Positron 



Positron () is :



- a next-generation data science IDE built by Posit PBC

- An extensible, polyglot tool for writing code and exploring data

- A familiar environment for reproducible authoring and publishing



> [!IMPORTANT]

> Positron is an early stage project under active development and may [not yet be a good fit for you](https://github.com/posit-dev/positron/wiki#is-positron-for-me) !



Positron is only available as pre-release build and this buckets contains a manifest for 



````powershell

# using r-bucket as in `scoop bucket add r-bucket https://github.com/cderv/r-bucket.git` when installing bucket

scoop install r-bucket/positron

````



### TinyTeX - Tex Live distribution

> Experimental - this could still change



3 binaries are available from [tinytex-releases](https://github.com/yihui/tinytex-releases) but only one can be installed at the same time. That is because a _shim_ for `tlmgr` command is added to _scoop_ and available to PATH, and that would be overriden. (And honestly, you only need one). 



* `tinytex` contains [several tex packages already installed](https://github.com/yihui/tinytex/blob/master/tools/pkgs-custom.txt) that are the main one used by Rmarkdown. If you are an R user we recommand this one. 

* `tinytex-min` is infra-only and contains only Tex Live with no package installed. Use this one if you want only Tex Live for Windows using [TinyTeX distribution](https://yihui.org/tinytex/) without the selected packages, for CI workflow for example. 

* `tinytex-extra` contains some extra packages installed compare to `tinytex`.



See full documentation at https://yihui.org/tinytex/ and about the releases at https://github.com/yihui/tinytex-releases#scoop-package



The binaries are synced from https://github.com/yihui/tinytex-releases/releases



### R 



#### R devel



You can install R devel for Windows using this bucket containing the `r-devel` app. The version will be synced to https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rdevel.html and you will always have the last available r-devel version, tracked by the version notation like r79818 for the current development snapshot of R. As any other app, a new version will be checked for daily. 



This scoop installed app will behave like with the apps in the _Versions_ bucket (https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Versions): You can have several versions of R installed with scoop but only one in use. You will have to use [`scoop reset`](https://scoop-docs.now.sh/docs/misc/Switching-Ruby-and-Python-Versions.html#scoop-reset) to switch between installed versions.



```powershell

# from this bucket

scoop install r-devel

rterm --version # r-devel



# from the main bucket

scoop install r-release

rterm --version # r current release



# switching back to use r-devel

scoop reset r-devel

rterm --version # r-devel

```



#### rig - R Installation Manager



rig, the R Installation Manager, (https://github.com/r-lib/rig) is a tool to install, remove, configure R versions. 



This bucket contains the manifest to install and update easily the [rig CLI](https://github.com/r-lib/rig/releases) for Windows. 



```powershell

# install

scoop install rig



# update

scoop update rig

```



Using `rig`, you can then install and manage any R versions. See `rig help` for details.



#### R release and old releases



If you prefer installing R versions with scoop, you can can 



- install R current release.



```powershell

scoop install r-release

```



- or install a previous release



```powershell

scoop install [email protected]

```



You can then switch between R versions (including r-devel - see below) using 



```powershell

scoop reset r-release

scoop reset [email protected]

```



[R Installation Manager (RIM)](#r-installation-manager-rim), installable from this bucket too, is a better tool for installing R versions.



### Quarto CLI



Quarto (https://quarto.org/) is an open-source scientific and technical publishing system built on Pandoc. Quarto documents are authored using markdown, an easy to write plain text format.



This bucket contains the manifests to install and update easily the [quarto CLI](https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/releases) for Windows for stable versions and pre-release versions.



#### Stable version



```powershell

# install

scoop install quarto



# update

scoop update quarto

```



You can also install and manage Quarto using [Quarto Versions Manager - qvm](#quarto-versions-manager---qvm)



#### Pre-release version



```powershell

scoop install quarto-prerelease



scoop update quarto-prerelease

```



#### Switching between stable and pre-release



`quarto` and `quarto-prerelease` will both make `quarto` binary available in PATH. Only one version can be used at the same time. To switch between version use the following: 



```powershell

scoop install quarto

quarto --version # e.g 1.0.35



# installing second

scoop install quarto-prerelease

quarto --version # e.g 1.1.3



# Switching back to stable

scoop reset quarto

quarto --version # e.g 1.0.35



# Switching again to pre-release

scoop reset quarto-prerelease

quarto --version # e.g 1.1.3

```



### Quarto Versions Manager - QVM



[Quarto Version Manager](https://github.com/dpastoor/qvm) is a CLI tools that allows to manage and switch between versions of Quarto easily. 



This bucket contains the manifest to install and update easily the [qvm releases](https://github.com/dpastoor/qvm/releases) for Windows.



#### Should I install `quarto` using `qvm` or install `quarto` with scoop directly ?



QVM is aimed toward developers using Quarto that quickly needs to switch between versions. For only installing quarto and staying up to date, install [quarto](#quarto-cli) directly from this bucket will be enough. **It is not recommended to have both installed**.



```powershell

# install

scoop install qvm



# update

scoop update qvm

```



### Sass migrator



[Sass Migrator](https://github.com/sass/migrator) is a CLI tool to help migrate old to new syntax.



The Sass migrator automatically updates stylesheets that use deprecated behavior to the latest and greatest Sass features. 



See documentation on main website: https://sass-lang.com/documentation/cli/migrator/



```powershell

# install

scoop install sass-migrator



# update

scoop install sass-migrator

```



### air



[air](https://github.com/posit-dev/air) is an R formatter and language server, written in Rust.  

**air is currently in alpha. Expect breaking changes both in the API and in formatting results.** 



As `air` is also a tool available in other scoop bucket, it needs to be namespaced to be installed



```powershell

# install 

# using r-bucket as in `scoop bucket add r-bucket https://github.com/cderv/r-bucket.git` when installing bucket

scoop install r-bucket/air



# update

scoop install air

````



## To install scoop 



See https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop



## Add this scoop bucket



```powershell

scoop bucket add r-bucket https://github.com/cderv/r-bucket.git

```



## Install an app



```powershell

scoop install rstudio-daily

scoop install TinyTeX

```



You can also namespace app in this bucket if there is a conflict



```powershell	

# using r-bucket as in `scoop bucket add r-bucket https://github.com/cderv/r-bucket.git` when installing bucket

scoop install r-bucket/air

```



## List installed apps



```powershell

scoop list

```



## Update an app



```powershell

# fetch update info

scoop update

# see outdated apps

scoop status

# update one app

scoop update rstudio-daily

# update all 

scoop update *

```



## Uninstall an app



```powershell

scoop uninstall rstudio-daily

```



## check if a tools is found in PATH 



```powershell

scoop which tlmgr

```
