Boxstarter Packages

My Boxstarter packages. These are used to quickly get my dev machine up and running after a OS re-install.

BoxStarter New Machine Installation Notes

Here is a link to all the docs for BoxStarter: Why BoxStarter

The following summarises what I did.

Setup

You can either run the 1.Setup.ps1 script as admin or manually install BoxStarter: Install BoxStarter

Checkout Existing BoxStarter Script

Fork this Git repository (Boxstarter.Packages) - fork into your own repository so that you can commit any changes you make.

Edit the ChocolatelyInstall.ps1 to suit your needs (found under DevMachineSetup/tools)

Creating BoxStarter Packages

Run the 2.BuildPackages.ps1 to build the package

Install the boxstarter package

Installing the package will also run all the commands in your ChocolateyInstall.ps1 so this will take a while. Run the 3.Install.ps1 to kick it all off.
