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..

Kristen Bedevian

Licensed Professional Counselor

Graduated with my masters in clinical mental health counseling in December 2013 from UT Tyler. I worked for UT Health East Texas Behavioral Health Center, formerly ETMC behavioral health, for 4 years on inpatient units for children, adolescents, and adults. I also worked with the intensive outpatient program (IOP) for adolescents, and adults. A wide range of experience wearing a variety of hats, which has made for plenty of learning and growth! I am EMDR trained, and provide counseling for individuals struggling with past trauma, depression, anxiety, gender identity, and personality disorders.
