This is a script to setup a new software developer workstation. Feel free to modify the scripts to fit your own requirements.
These scripts leverage two popular open source projects.
- Boxstarter boxstarter.org
- Chocolatey chocolatey.org
Boxstarter is a wrapper for Chocolatey and includes features like managing reboots for you. We're using the Boxstarter web launcher to start the installation process: https://boxstarter.org/Learn/WebLauncher
- A clean install of Windows 10 Pro v1903 en-us or higher
- A stable internet connection
- Admin Access
This script has not been tested on older versions of Windows. Consider yourself warned.
Run the script here by clicking this Boxstarter Web Launcher.
Import "AddPS1_Run_as_administrator.reg" to your registry to enable context menu on the powershell files to run as Administrator. The Reg file is located in the _optional folder.

This script should provide most of what the infrastructure/application admin/engineer needs in his/her toolset. With that said, it is certainly possible that this script may not match your personal preferences exactly. If this is the case, please feel free to fork this project and make whatever changes you desire. I only ask that you please give a little credit where due by providing a reference link back to this project and/or the other projects referenced in the References section above.
- The Boxstarter ClickOnce installer does not work when using Chrome. Please use Edge.
- Reboot is not always logging you back in to resume the script. Login manually and the script will continue on its own.
