Scoop downloads and manages packages in a portable way, keeping them neatly isolated in ~\\scoop. It won't install files outside its home, and you can place a Scoop installation wherever you like. For terminal applications, Scoop creates shims, a kind of command-line shortcuts, inside the ~\\scoop\\shims folder, which is accessible in the PATH. For graphical applications, Scoop creates program shortcuts in a dedicated Start menu folder, called 'Scoop Apps'.
Scoop helps you get the programs you need, with a minimal amount of point-and-clicking. Say goodbye to permission pop-ups. Scoop installs programs to your home directory by default. So you don’t need admin permissions to install programs, and you won’t see UAC popups every time you need to add or remove a program. Scoop reads the README for you. Not sure whether you need 32-bit or 64-bit? Can’t remember that command you have to type after you install to get that other thing you need?
