Scoop issue fix¶
Windows only
Scoop is for Windows users only. You'll just be using Homebrew if you're on OS X, you can skip this.
If you use Windows but haven't gotten this error, you can also skip this!
Scoop error on package install: Convert-RepositoryUri¶
Some people have been getting a Convert-RepositoryUri error when installing with Scoop, it looks like this:
λ scoop install wget
Updating Scoop...
Updating 'main' bucket...
Converting 'main' bucket to git...

Scoop was updated successfully!
Couldn't find manifest for 'wget'.
This is because Scoop is broken at the moment, so it should go away soon, but there's another solution that seems to work, too. Run each of these commands below, one at a time:
First we'll remove the bucket called "main" (a bucket is a... list of things that can be installed, I think?)
and then we'll add it back, since it seems to be broken but maybe adding it back works
and then install a couple tools we need
and then see if installing wget works
