Description of Chocolatey

Chocolatey is software management automation for Windows. Chocolatey can easily handle all aspects of package management, but it is also able to work well within the existing ecosystem that is Windows software management. Chocolatey builds on technologies - unattended installation and PowerShell. Chocolatey works with all existing software installation technologies like MSI, NSIS, InnoSetup, etc, but also works with runtime binaries and zip archives.

A good automation management suite with many useful features

The best thing about this toolset is its ability to install multiple packages at once which saves you time in setting up your environment again after an update or when adding new toolsets. It has worked flawlessly so far without any issues. I am using chocolatey mainly as my build agent because i dont have enough resources (both physical & virtual) to run continuous integration servers/agents myself. This tool helps me keep track of updates across different client applications / frameworks used

Pros
  • Best part being that it lets users easily integrate package management tools with ease just like npm does! No need anymore going through lengthy process steps manually downloading various software's required alongwith their respective installation scripts!! Makes life easy especially working within constraints set forth ! Great work guys!!! :) Kudos.thumbsup:)
  • Keep improving n growing further..great job chocolately
Cons
  • So-so

Chocolate Y made for easy installations of software

The best thing about chocolatey was its ability to install multiple packages at once without having dependency issues or errors when one fails another continues working smoothly! I dislike how sometimes you have problems downloading some apps through this command line tool which causes other programs not compatible in installing them as intended (like visual studio code editor). Try using different mirrors if your country does'nt provide access otherwise try searching more places online where…

Pros
  • And also there were no dependencies needed so every program that we download from their site will be downloaded completely uninstalled automatically even those applications require an internet connection already installed such Microsoft Visual Studio Code Editor required Internet Explorer 11 but now my system doesn’t contain Windows 10 anymore hence couldn` t use IE
Cons
  • So-so
