SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Setting up a Windows development machine requires manually downloading, installing, and configuring dozens of tools like Git, Node.js, Python, and Docker, each with its own installer and PATH configuration. This Skill provides a unified desktop app and CLI to provision developer environments with batch installation and status detection. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Batch Tool Installation: Install multiple developer tools (git, node, python, docker, vscode, databases) in parallel with per-tool error isolation so one failure does not abort the batch. - Status Detection & Diagnostics: Detect installed tools via registry and PATH checks, run diagnostics, and export the current configuration as JSON for reproducible environments. - Developer Profiles: Apply curated tool sets such as Web Development or Python Development for one-click environment provisioning. - Use Case: When onboarding a new Windows workstation, run the CLI to install git, node, python, docker, and vscode in one command, then export the configuration to replicate the setup on other machines. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to install git, node, python, and docker on your Windows machine using the DevTools Hub CLI and then verify their installation status.

Frequently Asked Questions about devtools-hub-installer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I install multiple developer tools on Windows at once?▼

Use the DevTools Hub CLI with a single command such as devtoolshub install git node python docker. The install queue processes each tool with per-tool error handling, so one failed installation does not abort the rest of the batch.

What tools can DevTools Hub install on Windows?▼

DevTools Hub installs version control tools like git and git-lfs, runtimes including node, python, go, rust, and java, editors like vscode, databases such as postgresql, mongodb, and mysql, plus docker, postman, and the WAMP web server stack.

Does DevTools Hub work on macOS or Linux?▼

No, DevTools Hub requires Windows 10/11 on x64 architecture. Its installers are PowerShell scripts that rely on Windows registry, PATH environment variables, and UAC elevation, none of which apply to macOS or Linux systems.

Why is a tool not detected after installation?▼

Restart the app to refresh PATH detection, since environment variable changes require a new session. You can also verify the registry at HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment or run where <tool-name> to confirm the executable is in PATH.

How do I fix PowerShell execution policy errors when installing tools?▼

Run Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine as Administrator to allow script execution. DevTools Hub installers are PowerShell scripts, so the policy must permit local signed scripts before installation can proceed.

Can I export my development environment configuration?▼

Yes, run devtoolshub export-config to produce a JSON file listing installed tools, platform, and timestamp. This output supports replicating the same environment setup across multiple Windows machines.
