May I work on this issue? If yes, then please provide me all the details regarding it.

[pombredanne]

@karan-vaishnav Thanks... first step would be to research and document what are the package data and manifest formats used in there. Eventually we want to have manifests parsers in the "packagedcode" module.

[karan-vaishnav]

@pombredanne can you please share the reference docs for me to understand ?

[pombredanne]

@karan-vaishnav you would need to research how things work at https://github.com/ScoopInstaller What is the package manifest format? Is there a registry? an API? And for the scancode side, play with and read the code in packagedcode

@pombredanne I'm done with my research on how things work at https://github.com/ScoopInstaller. Please check through this link and tell me the changes required, I'll correct them. Also, does this file work? Or do I need to make a readme file or anything else?

[pombredanne]

@karan-vaishnav this is awesome! Do you mind top copy this content here in the issue as a comment using markdown? This way we can discuss in a single place.

[karan-vaishnav]

okay sure.

Scoop

Installation

Run the following command from your PowerShell to install scoop to its default location (C:\Users\\scoop)

Invoke-Expression (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://get.scoop.sh')

or shorter

iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex

Once installed, run scoop help for instructions. The default setup is configured so all user installed programs and Scoop itself live in C:\Users\\scoop. Globally installed programs (--global) live in C:\ProgramData\scoop. These settings can be changed through environment variables

Install Scoop to a Custom Directory by changing SCOOP

$env:SCOOP='D:\Applications\Scoop' [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('SCOOP', $env:SCOOP, 'User')

run the installer

Configure Scoop to install global programs to a Custom Directory by changing SCOOP_GLOBAL

$env:SCOOP_GLOBAL='F:\GlobalScoopApps' [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('SCOOP_GLOBAL', $env:SCOOP_GLOBAL, 'Machine')

run the installer

Configure Scoop to store downloads to a Custom Directory by changing SCOOP_CACHE

$env:SCOOP_CACHE='F:\ScoopCache' [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('SCOOP_CACHE', $env:SCOOP_CACHE, 'Machine')

run the installer

Configure Scoop to use a GitHub API token during searching and checkver by setting SCOOP_CHECKVER_TOKEN

$env:SCOOP_CHECKVER_TOKEN='' [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('SCOOP_CHECKVER_TOKEN', $env:SCOOP_CHECKVER_TOKEN, 'Machine')

Is there a registry?

Yes, there is a registry which is shown in our local storage.

API?

According to my research I couldn’t find any API. because it is running over command prompt, there is no need for an API.
