In this case Linux developers introduced very convenient way to install applications – package managers. There were times when Linux-based OSes had very complicated application installation mechanism, it is still persist and you can compile any application from a source code now using make or magic.
In addition, you will be able to easily update your installed applications in one click or command. Note.This instruction will show you how to install the Chocolatey package manager on Windows Server, which will make installing and uninstalling programs in Windows as easy and convenient as on Linux-based operating systems. To update all your packages use: choco upgrade all
Note.: Use -y if you wish to ignore the confirmation messages Updating packages choco upgrade
Note.: Use -y if you wish to ignore the confirmation messages Removing packages choco uninstall Or visit and search List installed packages choco list -local-only Installing packages choco install Now let's have a look at the basic commands to manage packages: Search packages choco search NET Framework 4 or higher (the Chocolatey installation will try to install this dependency in case you don't have it)įirst thing to do is run as administrator Powershell or Cmd, to do so, search for Powershell or Cmd in Start Menu, right button click and select "Run as Administrator".įor Powershell use the following command line: Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force iex ((New-Object ).DownloadString(''))įor Cmd use this command line: -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object ).DownloadString(''))" & SET "PATH=%PATH% %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin" UsageĪnd… done, the installation was just that. Windows 7 or higher / Windows Server 2003 or higher.And just as the mentioned, we can use it in infrastructure automation tools (or IaC - Infrastructure as code) like Puppet, Chef or Ansible. Yes, we have now (not exactly now, because this project has been rolling approximately since 2014) a package manager for Windows like apt-get or yum for Linux, or Homebrew for Mac. Just as simple as the question, is the answer: "It is a package manager developed for Windows". Well, let's begin with the basic question: "What would Chocolatey be?".
