Hey everyone! 😊 I just wanted to share a bit about my development setup. I’m using a 1920x1080 display with UI scaling set to 100%, which makes my PowerShell terminal look really pretty on Windows Terminal. It’s been working great for me! So let’s get started:
1. Install PowerShell 7.4.5 (Windows x64)
Download: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v7.4.5/PowerShell-7.4.5-win-x64.msi
2. Open PowerShell, Install Scoop
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://get.scoop.sh | Invoke-Expression
3. Install Windows Terminal
scoop bucket add extras
scoop install extras/windows-terminal
4. Install Oh-My-Posh, PSReadLine, gsudo, Terminal-Icons
scoop bucket add main
scoop install main/oh-my-posh
scoop install main/gsudo
scoop install extras/terminal-icons
notepad $PROFILE
----------------------------
# Activate Oh My Posh:
oh-my-posh init pwsh --config "%USERPROFILE%\scoop\apps\oh-my-posh\current\themes\1_shell.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression
# Activate Oh PSReadLine:
Import-Module PSReadLine
# Activate gsudo to elevate a command or the last command:
Import-Module gsudoModule
# Activate Terminal-Icons
Import-Module Terminal-Icons
----------------------------
5. Install NVM (Node.js Version Manager)
Download: https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/releases/download/1.1.12/nvm-setup.exe
6. Install pyenv to manage multiple versions of Python
Open Windows-Terminal:
Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win/master/pyenv-win/install-pyenv-win.ps1" -OutFile "./install-pyenv-win.ps1"; &"./install-pyenv-win.ps1"
7. Install Search Everything
Instead of using https://scoop.sh/#/apps to search a package. We can use Everything. Search: package json
scoop install extras/everything
8. Install fastfetch
Instead of abandoned neofetch, we can use fastfetch.
scoop install fastfetch
9. Test Everything
10. Tips & Tricks
1. Use Nerd Font
2. To update scoop package:
scoop update *
3. nvm Guide: https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows
4. pyenv Guide: https://github.com/pyenv-win/pyenv-win
That's it! We can now use scoop, nvm, and pyenv in one terminal. If you have any suggestions, just comment below!
