busybox-runner

This script is intended to simplify BusyBox running in different ways.

Installation

• Download from this repository the script bb.bat.
• Download the latest version of the BusyBox executable from https://frippery.org/busybox/ (either 64-bit or 32-bit, what you want).
• Place both somewhere in your operating system to be visible via $PATH.

Or...

• Download from this repository the script bb.bat.
• Place it in your operating system to be visible via $PATH.
• Run one of the command bb --download win32 or bb --download win64 to download the latest 32-bit or 64-bit build of BusyBox, respectively. The downloaded executable will be stored next to this script. This step requires PowerShell is available in your system.

That's it. Everything is ready. You can enjoy with the cool set of Unix tools and cute envelope for running them.
