install-web-dev-software's Issues

Check if an APM Package is Already Installed

Before installing any apm package, check if it’s already been installed. Otherwise, people will be sitting there waiting to install something that already exists.

Add Routine That Installs Sass Lint

Consider Disabling all Atom Packages

It would make sense to disable all Atom packages, then enable them as the courses progress through the semester. For example, only the W3C validator should be enabled at the outset, with all other linters disabled. Then, once we start discussing CSS, enable Stylelint. And, so on...

Add Routine That Installs ESLint

Add Homebrew

Add FileZilla to Installer

The title says it all.

Include Instructions on Dealing with How The Terminal Behaves in Monterey

Create an Uninstaller

The uninstaller should be interactive, asking the user if she/he/they would like to delete everything, or only some items.

A Powershell version of this installer will be very helpful, as Windows users need to install all the required software manually.

Convert to Functions All That is Repeatable

Much of the current version uses copy-and-paste syntax that can be function()-alized.
