Pfcode Installer

A simple Windows GUI to install software on a new machine or VM, built with powershell.

There is 100+ packages to choose from.

The app leverage the package manager chocolatey to find and install applications.

There is a standalone .exe if you trust the code behind it, if you don't you need to build it for yourself, as most antivirus will throw a red flag as a virus.

Alternatively, you can run the script manually from the CLI

.\pfcode-installer.ps1

Add new chocolatey packages

You can edit the config.json file and add new

Example, you want to add microsoft net framewrok

1- Go to https://community.chocolatey.org/packages

2- Search for net framework package

3- Copy the name of the package dotnetfx

4- Add the package to an existing section in the json file

    {
        "name": "Net Framework 4.8",

        "install": false
    },
