The purpose of this project is to provide a "one-click" solution for provisioning a Windows environment for front end development. By automating this setup, we can ensure that the software is installed and configured correctly and can be repeated easily across both local and remote machines.
The installation scripts were created with the help of Boxstarter and Chocolatey.
The following script will install:
- Latest version of Node.js
- npm
- Python 2.7
- Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools 2015
