Perhaps one day, Chocolatey will grow into a proper management tool, which will allow Windows users to manage
You do not need to focus on any GUI action. Generic help for the main binary or any one of the options, like choco install -hĬhocolatey seems like the most advanced Windows package manager alternative that I've tested so far. YouĬan use any one of the standard Windows switchers to get help. Reserved word, a placeholder, but that looks like a nice possibility.
Last but not the least, there is going to be an update function in the future. Is that there's no local cache, and the list is rebuilt every time you run the command, so it can take a while The current count is about 2,700 packages, which is very decent.

Now, there's a new product, and it's called Chocolatey. Replicate the simplicity and ease of use that exists in Linux. We've seen Ninite and Npackd in action, but they did not quite manage to Several programs have come to life, trying to address this gap. Microsoft software, forcing you to handle the rest more of less manually. For licensing reasons and whatnot, Windows Update only offers Linux distributions and/or in the mobile world.
