If you are a developer that works with NPM, you can imagine Chocolatey as a package manager but for Software in Windows, pretty cool right? For more detailed information about this project, please visit the official website or the open source repository at Github here.
With Chocolatey you can easily manage all aspects of Windows software (installation, configuration, upgrade, and uninstallation) because it is the most reliable when software is included in the package, but can also easily download resources. Chocolatey works with all existing software installation technologies like MSI, NSIS, InnoSetup, etc, but also works with runtime binaries and zip archives. What is Chocolatey?Ĭhocolatey is the easiest and sane way to manage software on Windows. Chocolatey builds on technologies you know - unattended installation and PowerShell. If you are bored of this procedure and want to do it in the developer way, Chocolatey wants to make the installation of Software and developer tools easily without having to click through an unending installation wizards in Windows. Most of the time, you only need the default application and that's it, you don't even care where it will be installed if it works because that's the important thing here. Although that's pretty easy and works even for people that doesn't know about computers or are geeks, it is time consuming because you always have to follow the wizard and select what you need. The installation of Software in Windows is very straightforward and typical, just download an application that contains an executable and run it (if it is portable) or run the installator (MSI) and follow the wizard. Most of the Windows users doesn't care about how and where desktop applications or other software utilities are installed on their system.
