🤬 f-win

A handy script to "fix" Windows by installing decent CLIs and apps.

🛠️ Setup / Usage

Run it with one command:

irm "https://fwin.coko7.fr" | iex

Note

fwin.coko7.fr is just a redirect to this git repo. If you do not trust it, feel free to use the command below instead:

irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coko7/f-win/refs/heads/main/fwin.ps1" | iex

🐛 Issues

Cannot resolve 7-zip hostname

Scoop needs 7-zip to install packages correctly. Some organizations/countries tend to block 7-zip for whatever reasons. If you find yourself in this spot, you can try to install 7-zip manually via copying MSI and then instructing scoop to use an external binary:

scoop config use_external_7zip true

Problem with schannel

If you run into the following:

Updating Scoop...
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Scoop/': schannel: next InitializeSecurityContext failed: CRYPT_E_REVOCATION_OFFLINE (0x80092013) - The revocation function was unable to check revocation because the revocation server was offline.

You may want to switch the git SSL backend to OpenSSL:

git config --global http.sslBackend openssl

🚀 Better alternatives

For a more complete solution in the same spirit, check out: ctt/winutil. It's way better and has many customizations options beyond just installing apps and CLIs.

fwin is my personal installation script to setup all the tools I need in one command.
