Installing chocolatey on this machine

Creating ChocolateyInstall as an environment variable (targeting 'Machine')

Setting ChocolateyInstall to 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey'

WARNING: It's very likely you will need to close and reopen your shell before you can use choco.

Restricting write permissions to Administrators

We are setting up the Chocolatey package repository.

The packages themselves go to 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib' (i.e. C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\yourPackageName).

A shim file for the command line goes to 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin' and points to an executable in 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\yourPackageName'.

Creating Chocolatey folders if they do not already exist.

WARNING: You can safely ignore errors related to missing log files when upgrading from a version of Chocolatey less than 0.9.9.'Batch file could not be found' is also safe to ignore. 'The system cannot find the file specified' - also safe.

WARNING: Not setting tab completion: Profile file does not exist at 'C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1'.

Chocolatey (choco.exe) is now ready.

You can call choco from anywhere, command line or PowerShell by typing choco.

Run choco /? for a list of functions.

You may need to shut down and restart PowerShell and/or consoles first prior to using choco.

Ensuring chocolatey commands are on the path

Ensuring chocolatey.nupkg is in the lib folder

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Chocolatey

Installs a package or a list of packages (sometimes specified as a

packages.config). Some may prefer to use `[[cinst]]` as a shortcut for
`[[choco install]]`.

NOTE: 100% compatible with older chocolatey client (0.9.8.32 and below)

with options and switches. Add `-y` for previous behavior with no
prompt. In most cases you can still pass options and switches with one
dash (`-`). For more details, see the command reference (`choco -?`).

Usage

• choco install <pkg|packages.config> [<pkg2> <pkgN>] [<options/switches>]
• cinst <pkg|packages.config> [<pkg2> <pkgN>] [<options/switches>]

NOTE: `all` is a special package keyword that will allow you to install

all packages from a custom feed. Will not work with Chocolatey default
feed. THIS IS NOT YET REIMPLEMENTED.

NOTE: Any package name ending with .config is considered a

'packages.config' file. Please see https://bit.ly/packages_config

NOTE: Chocolatey Pro / Business builds on top of a great open source

experience with quite a few features that enhance the your use of the
community package repository (when using Pro), and really enhance the
Chocolatey experience all around. If you are an organization looking
for a better ROI, look no further than Business - automatic package
creation from installer files, automatic recompile support, runtime
malware protection, private CDN download cache, synchronize with
Programs and Features, etc - https://chocolatey.org/compare.

Examples

• choco install sysinternals

     choco install notepadplusplus googlechrome atom 7zip
     choco install notepadplusplus --force --force-dependencies
     choco install notepadplusplus googlechrome atom 7zip -dvfy
     choco install git --params="'/GitAndUnixToolsOnPath /NoAutoCrlf'" -y
     choco install nodejs.install --version 0.10.35
     choco install git -s "'https://somewhere/out/there'"
     choco install git -s "'https://somewhere/protected'" -u user -p pass

Choco can also install directly from a nuspec/nupkg file. This aids in

testing packages:

   choco install 
   choco install 

Install multiple versions of a package using -m (AllowMultiple versions)

   choco install ruby --version 1.9.3.55100 -my
   choco install ruby --version 2.0.0.59800 -my
   choco install ruby --version 2.1.5 -my

What is `-my`? See option bundling in the command reference

(`choco -?`).

NOTE: All of these will add to PATH variable. We'll be adding a special

option to not allow PATH changes. Until then you will need to manually
go modify Path to just one Ruby and then use something like uru
(https://bitbucket.org/jonforums/uru) or pik
(https://chocolatey.org/packages/pik) to switch between versions.

See It In Action

Packages.config

Alternative to PackageName. This is a list of packages in an xml manifest for Chocolatey to install. This is like the packages.config that NuGet uses except it also adds other options and switches. This can also be the path to the packages.config file if it is not in the current working directory.

NOTE: The filename is only required to end in .config, the name is not required to be packages.config.

Alternative Sources

Available in 0.9.10+.

Ruby This specifies the source is Ruby Gems and that we are installing a

gem. If you do not have ruby installed prior to running this command,
the command will install that first.
e.g. `choco install compass -source ruby`

WebPI This specifies the source is Web PI (Web Platform Installer) and that

we are installing a WebPI product, such as IISExpress. If you do not
have the Web PI command line installed, it will install that first and
then the product requested.
e.g. `choco install IISExpress --source webpi`

Cygwin This specifies the source is Cygwin and that we are installing a cygwin

package, such as bash. If you do not have Cygwin installed, it will
install that first and then the product requested.
e.g. `choco install bash --source cygwin`

Python This specifies the source is Python and that we are installing a python

package, such as Sphinx. If you do not have easy_install and Python
installed, it will install those first and then the product requested.
e.g. `choco install sphinx --source python`

Windows Features This specifies that the source is a Windows Feature and we should

install via the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool (DISM)
on the local machine.
e.g. `choco install IIS-WebServerRole --source windowsfeatures`

Resources

* How-To: A complete example of how you can use the PackageParameters argument
  when creating a Chocolatey Package can be seen at
  https://chocolatey.org/docs/how-to-parse-package-parameters-argument
* One may want to override the default installation directory of a
  piece of software. See
  https://chocolatey.org/docs/getting-started#overriding-default-install-directory-or-other-advanced-install-concepts.

Options and Switches

NOTE: Options and switches apply to all items passed, so if you are

installing multiple packages, and you use `--version=1.0.0`, it is
going to look for and try to install version 1.0.0 of every package
passed. So please split out multiple package calls when wanting to
pass specific options.

Snippet from Wikipedia: Chocolatey

Chocolatey is a machine-level, command-line package manager and installer for software on Microsoft Windows. It uses the NuGet packaging infrastructure and Windows PowerShell to simplify the process of downloading and installing software.

The name is an extension on a pun of NuGet (from "nougat") "because everyone loves Chocolatey nougat".
