Chocolatey Overview
Chocolatey is a package manager for Windows that lets you install, upgrade, and remove software from the command line, much as users of other operating systems do with their system package managers. Instead of hunting for installers on websites, you run a single command and Chocolatey downloads and installs the requested program automatically, handling dependencies and silent installation behind the scenes. It draws on a large community repository of packaged applications and can also be pointed at private repositories for organizations. System administrators use it to automate and standardize software deployment across many machines, scripting installs and updates and keeping systems consistent, and it integrates with configuration-management tools like Ansible, Chef, and Puppet. Chocolatey has a free, open-source edition, with paid Pro and Business editions that add features such as package internalization and richer management for larger environments.
