Scoop was not installed

Hi,

When opening scoop-viewer with scoop gui from cmd/powershell, the UI shows

Scoop was not installed

go to scoop.sh

Can you have a look at this?

Here's some informations about my scoop installation:

OS: Windows 8.1 64bit

Scoop version: latest

Environment: variableSCOOP was set to D:\opt\scoop manually before installing scoop from their website.

Output of scoop --version

Current Scoop version:
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

'scoop-viewer-bucket' bucket:
1d630cb (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) [scoop-viewer] Update vers
on to v0.6

Thanks for submitting bug. Until now checking if scoop is installed has been relied on scoop --version. But this command returns error when scoop directory is not a git repository.

To enjoy fixed app, please run:

scoop update
scoop update scoop-viewer

Same problem here. Win10 v1809, scoop and scoop-viewer are up to date.

Output of scoop --version:

Current Scoop version:

Steps to reproduce your problem:

• set environment variable %SCOOP% only for scoop installation purposes (path under %SCOOP% variable must be different than default)
• run scoop in another cmd session, wherein variable not exists

Please show output from where scoop and echo %scoop% .

Gui doesn't work,
with error message:

go to scoop.sh"
What is the meaning of error message "Alias gui doesn't exist."

Solved ✅
On a clean windows installation,
follow these instructions about power-shell configuration.

And you will have a full-functional scoop-viewer.
I have used the latest release zip file for installation instead of command line installation.
https://github.com/prezesp/scoop-viewer/releases/download/0.10.0/scoop-viewer.zip
Finally I did the installation from the command line after rebooting.

I just had the same issue. In my case my Documents\PoweShell\profile.ps1 was referring to posh-git which I have no longer installed. After removing the reference, scoop gui works as intended.
