Scoop Notifier

Automatic update checker for apps installed with Scoop written in Python

Installation

First make sure you have Python installed, e.g. with scoop install python or with pyenv

Then install poetry, a package/dependency manager for Python:

scoop install poetry

Then clone this repository somewhere and navigate to it:

git clone https://github.com/tech189/scoop-notifier/
cd scoop-notifier

Install the necessary dependencies with Poetry:

poetry install

Finally, run the program with the newly set up environment. The following command sets up a scheduled update check every three hours (180 minutes):

poetry run python scoop_notifier\notifier.py --install 180

Now, every three hours Scoop will be updated and a notification will display if any of your apps have updates available.

Uninstallation

Run the following in the same scoop-notifier folder you cloned originally to remove the scheduled update check:

poetry run python scoop_notifier\notifier.py --uninstall

Then you can delete the scoop-notifier folder.
