ScriptBox

box o' scripts in Batch, PowerShell, and Unix (for WSL)

Recommended Install: Add folder(s) to PATH

• What is Windows PATH and How Do You Add to and Edit it? - Make Tech Easier
• Save scripts to the folder(s) you added to your PATH
• You can now run the script from anywhere with just the name (ie: ff-u)
• The folders I have in my PATH are appscmd and modscmd

Local Install: Run in one folder only

• Open the folder you saved the scripts to (in Windows Explorer)
• Click the address bar (The long box with the folder path)
• Type cmd or powershell and hit enter
• In the console window that pops up, you can run the script
  • powershell scripts need to start with .\ and end with .ps1 (ex: .\Script.ps1 -Param 'Arg')
• Keep in mind that running the script from another folder is only possible with relative or absolute paths (ie: C:\scripts\ffmpeg\ff-u instead of just ff-u)

Prerequisites

• Each script has its own prerequisites
• PowerShell scripts (.ps1) require PowerShell on Windows (you probably already have this; check with powershell in a cmd window)
• Batch scripts (.bat) require cmd on Windows (all Windows versions have this; type cmd in start menu, or in address bar of Windows Explorer)
• UNIX scripts (.sh or no extension) require WSL on Windows or a Linux OS

Scripts

• choco-u
• choco-un
• choco-up
• GetHub
