## Overview
**ScoopX** is a Windows desktop development environment manager built on Scoop. It uses WinUI 3 for a native interface and brings PHP version management, configuration, and common developer tools into one place—so you spend less time on repetitive command-line work.
## Features
- **PHP version management**: Manage multiple PHP versions and the default CLI version in one place.
- **PHP configuration & extensions**: Manage each version’s `php.ini`, related environment variables, and common extensions.
- **Developer tools**: Manage MySQL, Redis, Node.js, Composer, and other tools from a single UI.
- **Scoop made visual**: Search, install, update, and uninstall packages through a graphical interface.
- **Native Windows UI**: Follows Windows 11 design and interaction patterns.
> Available package versions, extensions, and install options depend on Scoop buckets and package compatibility.

## Build from source
Two independent workflows:
| Goal | How |
| --- | --- |
| **Debug** | Open the project in Visual Studio, set platform to **x64**, select the **ScoopX** launch profile, press F5. This is unpackaged — no Deploy / MSIX step. |
| **Installer for users** | Do not use Visual Studio “Package and Publish”. From the repo root run: |
 [code] 
Output: `artifacts/ScoopX-Setup-x64.exe`.
Requires the .NET 8 SDK, Windows App SDK build tools, and Inno Setup 6.
> The installer is **not code-signed**. SmartScreen may show “Unknown publisher”; choose **Run anyway**.
