Which Windows architectures are supported?

It supports 32-bit x86, 64-bit x64 (both ANSI and Unicode), and 64-bit ARM processors.

Why should I use this over native Windows commands?

BusyBox provides a consistent set of flags and behaviors that match UNIX environments, which is essential for cross-platform scripts and developers familiar with Linux/macOS.

How do I see all available commands?

Once installed, you can run 'busybox.exe --list' to see the full list of supported UNIX utilities.

Does this skill require Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)?

No, this skill uses a native Win32 port of BusyBox that runs directly on the Windows OS without needing WSL or virtualization.

Can I use these commands in a standard Command Prompt?

Yes, while the installation uses PowerShell, the resulting busybox.exe can be used in both CMD.exe and PowerShell.

开发者工具

Equips Windows environments with standard UNIX command-line tools using a lightweight BusyBox binary.

关于

This skill facilitates the integration of UNIX-style utilities into Windows environments by automating the installation and execution of the Win32 BusyBox port. It detects your system architecture—including 32-bit, 64-bit, and ARM—to download the correct binary via PowerShell and provides immediate access to dozens of essential tools like ls, grep, and sed. This is particularly useful for developers who need to maintain consistent workflows across different operating systems or execute shell-based automation scripts natively on Windows without the overhead of a full WSL installation.
