Installing Chocolatey On Client Machines

• Note the url used here is different from the url the scripts use on the Install page of https://chocolatey.org.
• Check the official install documentation page for requirements, etc.
• Choose PowerShell.exe, cmd.exe, or to install with an integrated tool like Boxstarter, Ansible, Chef, Puppet, SCCM, etc.

PowerShell.exe - copy and paste the following into the shell and press enter:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://choco.netgaincloud.com/install.ps1'))

Cmd.exe - copy and paste the following into cmd.exe and press enter:

@"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://choco.netgaincloud.com/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"

Integrations: When using Infrastructure Management Tools, ensure you've put a chocolatey.nupkg on this repository.

• Ansible - use win_chocolatey module. Support for internal/offline install was added in the 2.7 release. Set the module option source to https://choco.netgaincloud.com/chocolatey. Once Chocolatey is installed, win_chocolatey_source_module can be used to configure this server as a package source.
• Boxstarter - installing Chocolatey is built-in to Boxstarter.
• Chef - use Chocolatey cookbook to ensure installation. Go to Chocolatey Search and find <content type="application/zip" /> - copy the entire src url. Then set the attribute node['chocolatey']['install_vars']['chocolateyDownloadUrl'] to that value.
• PowerShell DSC - use cChoco DSC resource. Set cChocoInstaller's ChocoInstallScriptUrl to https://choco.netgaincloud.com/install.ps1
• Puppet - use puppetlabs/chocolatey. Go to Chocolatey Search and find <content type="application/zip" /> - copy the entire src url. That's what you will provide to class {'chocolatey': chocolatey_download_url }. See specific instructions at Install with Puppet for examples.
• Salt - use Salt.Modules.Chocolatey. The bootstrap doesn't support offline install - subscribe, vote, and comment on Salt issue #45969 for progress. There is a workaround available.
• Others - use install script url: https://choco.netgaincloud.com/install.ps1
