Shorter installation command

[star2000]

replace

iex (new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('https://get.scoop.sh')

to

iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex

More elegant, isn't it?

Looks nicer but also makes it harder to understand.
I would prefer to add it as a shorter alternative instead of replacing it. 😄
The current command could be changed to full length with proper casing:

Invoke-Expression (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://get.scoop.sh')

@r15ch13

iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex

full length is

Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing get.scoop.sh | Invoke-Expression

iwr is abbreviation for Invoke-WebRequest.
execute Get-Help Invoke-WebRequest to see other alias.
