that’s handy @lee, this was something I needed when I did Windows support for clj-kondo. I bumped into some others issues too

Thanks @borkdude, it has been years since I developed on Windows and the landscape has changed a bit. Do you think the other issues you overcame are general enough to find their way into the wiki?

one other issue was a thing with tools.deps, I created an issue on JIRA for that along the way I discovered http://scoop.sh. I think it would make sense to create a manifest for clojure in that, it makes installation trivial even without setting permissions in PS

leiningen is also supported by scoop

preferably there would be a wrapper that makes the clojure and clj commands available in each shell, not only powershell. I think that could be accomplished with a .bat or .cmd script and scoop

The tools.deps issue was: https://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/TDEPS-128

btw, I’m also not a Windows user, put in just enough effort to make kondo work there 😉

Yeah it was clj-kondo that introduce me to scoop, very cool. I’m no Windows expert but I like it more than chocolatey.
