Aurora Shell includes a developer tools bootstrap step that runs interactively during first-time installation. After the configuration wizard completes, the dev_tools_bootstrap() function walks you through each supported tool one at a time, asking whether you want to install it before moving on. This lets you go from a clean machine to a fully configured development environment in a single install.sh run, without having to remember individual install commands afterward.

​
Available Tools

The bootstrap covers the following tools. Each is installed using the native package manager for your platform.
ToolmacOSWindows
GitXcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install)winget install Git.Git
GitHub CLIbrew install ghwinget install GitHub.cli
Node.jsbrew install nodewinget install OpenJS.NodeJS
Python 3brew install python@3.14winget install Python.Python.3

Gobrew install go—
Rustbrew install rust—
Dockerbrew install --cask docker-desktopwinget install Docker.DockerDesktop
AWS CLIbrew install awscliwinget install Amazon.AWSCLI
Azure CLIbrew install azure-cliwinget install Microsoft.AzureCLI

​
When It Runs

The bootstrap runs automatically as part of the installation process, immediately after the environment sync step and before the configuration wizard: 
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Seaus-tech/Aurora-Shell/main/install.sh)
For each tool in the list, the installer prints an interactive prompt: 
Install Git? (y/n):
Install NodeJS? (y/n):
Install Python3? (y/n):
...
Enter y to install or n to skip. The installer moves on to the next tool regardless of your choice.

​
macOS Notes

There are a few macOS-specific behaviors to be aware of:
  • Git is installed via Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install) rather than Homebrew. If Git is already present, the installer detects it and prints the installed version without doing anything.
  • Docker is installed as a Homebrew cask (brew install --cask docker-desktop) and requires sudo to be available for the current user. If sudo is not accessible, Docker is skipped automatically with a notice.
  • For all other tools, the installer checks whether the command is already on PATH before offering to install — no duplicate installs.

​
Re-Running the Bootstrap

To install additional tools after the initial setup, re-run the Aurora Shell updater, which kicks off the full install sequence again: 
shell.aurora --update
Or invoke the installer directly: 
bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Seaus-tech/Aurora-Shell/main/install.sh)
Both paths will present the interactive tool prompts again, and the installer will skip tools that are already present.
For cloud CLIs and other developer tools beyond the bootstrap list — including Kubernetes, Terraform, Stripe, Firebase, Supabase, and more — install the Aurora CLI command first and then browse the full catalog:
shell install CLI
CLI list
CLI list shows all 38+ available packages. Install any of them with CLI install <package>, for example CLI install Google.Cloud or CLI install HashiCorp.Terraform.
