Step one: Install Cmdr http://gooseberrycreative.com/cmder/ http://gooseberrycreative.com/cmder/
Step two: If on !Win10, use the chocolatey nu-get package manager (https://chocolatey.org/ https://chocolatey.org/), but if on Win10, I _think_ the native package manager will be a drop-in, tho I'm not sure.
That is literally _all_ you have to do to get 90% of what I do on a linux terminal into a windows console.
- jclos 11y agoI'd like to add Babun [1] as an alternative to Cmder. Not that I don't like Cmder, but Babun comes with a preconfigured Cygwin and a lot more tools out of the box. [1] http://babun.github.io/ http://babun.github.io/
- Scarbutt 11y agoDidn't you forget to add Cygwin there?
- toddchambery 11y agoUnless you have to execute (ba)sh-native scripts in Windows, I find Cygwin way too cumbersome. As I mentioned above, UnxUtils gets you the tooling without the path delimiter headaches.
- RomanPushkin 11y agoBe careful with Chocolatey, it will install the software without unchecking those nastly tools: search bars, etc. To be honest, it makes Chocolatey absolutely unuseful.
- jsalit 11y agoSource for this? I use Chocolatey on Win7 and haven't had anything unwanted installed. No Ask Toolbar (from multiple JRE and JDK installs), etc.
- toddchambery 11y agoAgree about Cmdr, but I'd add PyCmd[1] and UnxUtils[2]. I've never had much success with Chocolatey (probably due to corporate firewall issues). Gets me acceptably close to bash. [1] http://sourceforge.net/projects/pycmd/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/pycmd/ [2] http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
- bad_user 11y agoChocolatey has been awful for me. Also Cmdr is not well unmaintained and it's a far cry from the Linux tool-chain. People will be better off with Babun or straight Cygwin - http://babun.github.io/ http://babun.github.io/
