# Instructions to run this Boxstarter script:
# 1. Save this script as Boxstarter-DevTools.ps1 on your Windows VM or upload it to a public/secret GitHub Gist and get the raw URL.
# 2. Open an elevated PowerShell prompt (Run as Administrator).
# 3. Ensure Boxstarter is installed by running: choco install -y boxstarter
# 4. Run the script using one of the following commands:
#    - Local file: Install-BoxstarterPackage -PackageName C:\Path\To\Boxstarter-DevTools.ps1 -DisableReboots
#    - Gist URL: Install-BoxstarterPackage -PackageName https://gist.githubusercontent.com/username/uniqueid/raw/Boxstarter-DevTools.ps1 -DisableReboots
# 5. The -DisableReboots flag is optional; remove it to allow Boxstarter to handle reboots automatically.
# 6. Monitor the installation; check $env:LocalAppData\Boxstarter\Boxstarter.log for errors if any package fails.

# Ensure PowerShell execution policy allows script execution

# Check if Boxstarter is installed; attempt to install if not

    & choco install -y boxstarter
    Import-Module Boxstarter.Chocolatey
