Issue 2324 setup script #2325

Closed jimholmes closed 2 years ago

jimholmes commented 6 years ago

Initial version of a Powershell setup script to handle some of the allReady prerequisite setup:

Installs Chocolatey
Installs and does initial config of Git (name, mail, long path)
Installs NodeJS LTS
Gives user option of configuring proxies for system and NPM
Installs Gulp and Bower
Reminds user they need VS 2017 or higher
Installs .NET Core

I think this is a great tool for getting new contributors started. A couple suggestions:

I don't think we require Bower as a dependency any more, so I believe that installation step could be removed.
It might be nice to either check if a piece of software is installed or at least give the user the option to install or not. I think many people will come to the project with Git already installed, but may not have Gulp or .NET Core.

@jimholmes - I like what you started here and agree with some of the feedback from @dchristensen. Are you planning to work on this further?

jimholmes commented 5 years ago

Sorry, I lost track of this last year. I'll work to get the suggestions incorporated. Apologies for going dark on it. Thank you for the poke!

@jimholmes No need for apologies. My motives are selfish. I manually rebuilt the development environment for AllReady in a VM multiple times in order to diagnose some build issues. Your script would definitely simplify things and act as informal documentation.
