Windows Setup Module

An automated setup tool for Windows development environments. This module streamlines the installation of development tools, utilities, and configurations to get you up and running quickly.

The default irm flow is tailored to the Windows subset required by dotfiles:

• Chocolatey
• Git
• Starship
• Neovim
• Eza
• Zoxide
• Fzf + PSFzf
• ag
• bat
• Claude CLI (claude)
• OpenCode CLI (opencode)
• Dotfiles bootstrap (PowerShell profile + related config paths)
• .claude/skills synced from dotfiles to %USERPROFILE%\.claude\skills

Quick Start

Run the following command in PowerShell to install with the standard profile:

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JDLanctot/windows-setup/main/bootstrap.ps1 | iex

bootstrap.ps1 now runs install.ps1 with the default Standard profile (non-interactive unless you explicitly pass -Interactive when running install.ps1 yourself).

Choose a different profile from the one-liner flow:

$env:WINDOWS_SETUP_PROFILE = 'Full'
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JDLanctot/windows-setup/main/bootstrap.ps1 | iex

You can also run bootstrap.ps1 directly and pass -InstallationType.

Full now includes both Conda (Chocolatey miniconda3) and uv (Chocolatey uv).

It also includes the optional webdev/cloud stack from dotfiles:

• ruff (installed via uv tool install ruff)
• aws CLI (Chocolatey awscli)
• biome (npm -g @biomejs/biome)
• sst (npm -g sst)

Optional desktop extras in Full include:

• GlazeWM
• Flow Launcher (Chocolatey flow-launcher) plus dotfile theme copy to %APPDATA%\FlowLauncher\Themes\rosepine.xaml
• Zen Browser (default browser install target in this setup)

VS Code installs now also provision a LaTeX workflow for users who prefer it over Neovim:

• installs Tectonic into C:\Program Files\Tectonic using the official PowerShell drop script and adds it to user PATH if needed
• installs SumatraPDF via Chocolatey
• installs the James-Yu.latex-workshop VS Code extension
• configures VS Code user settings to build with tectonic and view PDFs in SumatraPDF
• configures Sumatra inverse search back into VS Code

Firefox installer support is still present (Install-Firefox) but Firefox is no longer included in default profile groups.
