Scoop is a command-line package manager for Microsoft Windows, used to download and install apps, as well as their dependencies.

Scoop is often used for installing web development tools and other software development tools.

[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Scoop installs apps in the current user's home directory, so it does not require admin permissions to install or update software.

[12] This allows Scoop to avoid User Account Control prompts.

[13][14] Scoop can update the packages that it has installed.
