I prefer scoop since it installs in a central folder, so you know where things are installed, and you can make your own &quot;Bucket&quot;(1) which is essentially a bunch of JSON manifest files in a git repo<p>also there is a comparison in the scoop wiki about the differences between it and chocolatey if you missed it (2)<p>1) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;lukesampson&#x2F;scoop&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Buckets" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;lukesampson&#x2F;scoop&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Buckets</a><p>2) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;lukesampson&#x2F;scoop&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Chocolatey-Comparison" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;lukesampson&#x2F;scoop&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Chocolatey-Compari...</a>
