It seems to work fine.

The weird thing is this :

adminUser # scoop list

I think I need to clean my PATH variable 😄

[sebma]

Cleaned my PATH up :

adminUser # setx -m PATH "%PATH%;C:\ProgramData\scoop\shims"
adminUser # exit

It seems buckets need to be administered by the adminUser (here via gsudo) :

normalUser > sudo scoop bucket add extras
Checking repo... OK
The extras bucket was added successfully.
normalUser > sudo scoop update

scoop search does not work maybe because "normalUser" because it does not "see" the buckets :

normalUser > scoop bucket list
Get-ChildItem : Cannot find path 'C:\Users\sebastien.mansfeld\scoop\buckets' because it does not exist.
