Setting up a fresh Windows machine for development tends to follow the same order. Start with the PowerShell one-liner to install Chocolatey, then pull the rest of your toolchain through choco install. A short list of tools worth knowing if you want an agentic workflow without a subscription: the Qwen Code CLI, which came out of the Qwen team and is tuned for the qwen coder models, and a local runner for open-weight models to host them. Both are open source and move quickly, so check the release notes before pinning a version..

International Medical Coordinator
Mercy Works/Youth With A Mission

My name is Karen Youngblood. I graduated from Texas Eastern School Of Nursing in 1978. I worked as a Staff Nurse/ Charge Nurse/Unit Manager on Telemetry at Mother Frances Hospital until 1994 then transferred to OutPatient Cath Unit. I started traveling with Mercy Works doing medical outreaches in 2001. I quit Mother Frances in 2005 & started with YWAM in 2006. I’ve been to 38 countries since I started working with MercyWorks. I take medical teams to places where there is little to no medical care.
