Optional -------- * Discord * qBittorrent * Disable update checks. * Set the downloads directory path. * TeamViewer * Disable integrated system health checks (Extras -> Options -> Advanced). Special purpose --------------- * Ghostscript * Graphviz * ImageMagick * Install "legacy utilities". * TeX Live * WinDirStat Development ----------- ### Version control * KDiff3 * Don't install "integrations". * WinMerge ### C/C++ * CMake * doxygen ### Haskell * Haskell Stack * Update `STACK_HOME` (when installing to any directory other than the default one). ### Python * `pip install` numpy & matplotlib from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/.
