Hi Scoop community!
I've run through the issue section and wiki on GitHub in search for this, but have come up empty. I really enjoy how Scoop isolates installs to a single directory and isn't relying or requiring admin privileges, but I was wondering whether it's possible to change the installation path?
E.g.
$ scoop install python # ends up in %userprofile%\scoop
$ scoop install python --prefix c:\my\custom\dir # ends up in c:\my\custom\dirSome approaches I've considered are:
- Creating a junction from
c:\my\custom\dirto%userprofile%\scoopto "trick" scoop into installing elsewhere. - Somehow editing the value of
$scoopdirtoc:\my\custom\dir
But was hoping for something simpler. Alternative one doesn't work, for example, if the user already has apps installed there, unless I delete those first.
The second I believe won't work consistently, since I gather apps aren't necessarily using this one variable to determine an installation path, but could also use e.g.
$persist_dir
I found
SCOOP and SCOOP_HOME environment variables used by AppVeyor, and they seem to do the trick, somewhat. They don't appear editable post-install, as Scoop complains about directories missing, and about Scoop itself not being available in apps/ which is understandable. For now, since I'm calling this from within a script/wrapper, I'm working around it by recreating the SCOOP_HOME directory structure, including shims/scoop and apps/scoop prior to installing any apps. Not ideal, and am still interested to hear of alternatives!
I haven't found docs for them, and more oddly haven't found any mention of it in any actual code, other than than the AppVeyor config https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/search?q=scoop_home&unscoped_q=scoop_home
SCOOP_HOME is only used by the bucket scripts in bin (like checkver.ps1 and auto-pr.ps1, See: https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/tree/master/bin)
Changing the installation directory is not supported.
(Volunteering to implement)
From what I can discern it seems to be a powershell module that uses scoop and ansible-like yaml configuration files to automate setup?
Documentation is a bit sparse though
Ah nevermind, found a treasure trove of roles in here:

It's looking like Discord is more active than here, will move to there for my next enquiry.

Hey guys, has anyone tried installing nvm-windows with scoop? After successful installation of nvm-windows I installed latest nodejs LTS version, but when I tried to execute node.exe, powershell told me
Program 'node.exe' failed to run: The specified executable is not a valid application for this OS platform.
I've added the java bucket, and found out the
oraclejdk-8 is unavailable
Hi everyone! Can anyone please share their
$Env:PATH contents so I can restore my scoop installation? Windows has just reset my user PATH environment variable completely after an update, and I can neither run scoop as it's not on PATH anymore, nor reinstall it from get.scoop.sh as the script says scoop is already installed. :/
Quick question: can one do something like
scoop install foo bar baz?
or does one need to serialize it?
(thanks for confirming)
(and the
du.exe shim that exists is the sysinternals one)
Uninstalling and reinstalling
gow obviously works, but this breaks as soon as sysinternals updates and snags the du.exe file again. I'm hoping there's a more robust solution.
What do I do?
Hi, have you looked at this article? It may help. https://spin.atomicobject.com/2018/06/18/windows-node-js/
@CVA_JamesMiller_twitter
getting new error today any ideas. Updating Scoop...
fatal: this operation must be run in a work tree
Update failed.
I am seeing this effect as well but only if the SCOOP environment variable is set. If I leave it in my %HOME% all works well. Any ideas?
The reason is that the worktree variable is set in git config with the latest git version. For me seems to be a git bug created a ticket in github: git-for-windows/git#2569
What can I do with this error?
