Scoop is a command-line package manager for Windows. It installs programs under the user's home directory without administrator privileges, and instead of running installers it downloads portable archives and links their executable paths with shims, so it does not clutter the system. Package definitions are JSON manifests grouped into Git repositories called buckets. It is a developer-oriented tool often compared with Chocolatey and winget.
