Scoop

Scoop is a simple and flexible app installer and manager for Windows. In most cases, it installs apps in an isolated, “portable” way, without requiring admin access.

Scoop has multiple official repositories (or “buckets”):

• main — 1,100+ popular command line tools (that fit the criteria );
• extras — 1,700+ apps that don’t fit the criteria for main
• nonportable — 100+ apps that require global (non-portable) installation
• versions — 400+ non-stable builds and previous major versions of apps
• games — 250+ free-of-charge games, emulators, and game-related tools

Also:

• java — JREs and JDKs
• php — different versions of PHP
• sysinternals
• nirsoft
• nerd-fonts

Under Source in the sidebar, select Scoop.
