# Windows configuration guide
Make sure all run in admin powershell

## Chocolatey Package Manager
Install chocolatey from [chocolatey.org](https://chocolatey.org/install).
```powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
```

## Recommended Package to Install
install all other software using chocolatey
```powershell
choco install `
postman `
free-download-manager `
psutils `
wezterm `
rclone `
vcxsrv `
filezilla dbeaver 7zip `
advanced-ip-scanner wireshark `
libreoffice notepadplusplus `
paint.net inkscape `
vlc `
git `
flameshot `
powertoys `
cpu-z hwmonitor wiztree `
-y
```

### Note on sudo
```sudo``` keyword is available after installing psutils, which is included in the above install command.
Users can now install using chocolatey without admin enabled powershell as shown below.
```powershell
sudo choco install
```

## Install scoop

# WSL configuration
## Install default (ubuntu) distribution
```powershell
wsl --install
```
## Configure wsl to not add path to host windows bin.
* start wsl
* copy file from ```wsl/wsl.conf``` to ```/etc/wsl.conf```
* shutdown wsl to allow it to reload config.
```powershell
wsl --shutdown
```
## Passthrough host cmd in wsl
```bash
sudo ln -sT /mnt/c/Windows/explorer.exe /usr/bin/explorer
sudo ln -sT /mnt/c/Windows/System32/wsl.exe /usr/bin/wsl
sudo ln -sT /mnt/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/powershell.exe /usr/bin/powershell
sudo ln -sT /mnt/c/Windows/System32/clip.exe /usr/bin/clip
```
## Execute powershell from wsl bash
Add following to bash_alias.
```bash
alias pwsh='powershell -Command'
```
This allow for executing powershell cmd such as chocolatey install
```bash
pwsh sudo choco install ...
pwsh Get-VM
pwsh "iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex" # pipe need to be in quote
```
## Install build-essential
```bash
sudo apt install build-essential

```

## PCB Circuit Design
Download easyeda manually, for now no package on chocolatey.
```powershell

```
Build in board should be enough, But if required can try to search at [snapeda.com](https://www.snapeda.com/kicad/).
Maybe add other library:-
[SparkFun](https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun-KiCad-Libraries.git)
[Digi-Key](https://github.com/Digi-Key/digikey-kicad-library.git)

```
https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages
```

## Explore Windows Package Manager
Windows package manager.
```
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/package-manager/

# Abandon Note
Note that are not relevant anymore.

## Powershell Core Configuration
Change Powershell tab completion behaviour and set ```ls``` alias to ```get-childitemcolorformatwide```

copy ```./PowerShell/profile.ps1``` to ```~/Documents/PowerShell/profile.ps1```

set script execution policy to remotesigned
```powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy remotesigned
```

## Install Scripts
copy content of ```./scripts``` to ```/ProgramData/Chocolatey/bin```

## Recommended Package to Install
install all other software using chocolatey

--params "/NoGuiHereIntegration /NoShellHereIntegration" `
--ignore-checksums -y
```

### Note on watchexec
For now there is no watch replacement in windows.
watchexec is almost similar to watch, but only execute command if got file change.
Exemple: execute ```node index.js``` if file change in current directory.
```
watchexec -- node .\index.js
```
TIPS: for nodejs use ```console.clear()``` inside index.js to clear console log before print new stuff.

To ensure consistent configuration path with linux,
* set XDG_CONFIG_HOME to ```C:\Users\\.config``` in user env variable.

To use Nightly NeoVim.
```powershell
choco update neovim --pre
```

### Share clipboard with remote server through ssh with putty
* On server, install xclip. For example, in ubuntu:
```bash
apt install xclip
```
* Run the ```vcxsrv``` on host machine.
* Set ```DISPLAY``` environment variable to ```localhost:10.0```
```bash
export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0
```
* Test xserver forwarding working by using ```xclock```
```bash
xclock
```

## Configure Keyboard Shortcut.
Configure putty shortcut to be ctrl + alt + r

Configure windows terminal shortcut to be ctrl + alt + t

copy ssh-pageant.bat script and added to path.
copy script from ```./scripts/ssh-pageant.bat``` to ```/ProgramData/Chocolatey/bin```
set env variable SSH_AUTH_SOCK to ssh-pageant.
```
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=\\.\pipe\ssh-pageant
```
How to use.
* start Pageant.
* run ```ssh-pageant``` command from terminal.
