How to Install Chocolatey
It's easy, you know just like grabbing a Vodka Shot. But without a hole in pocket! It's free, in case you're wondering untill now.
Steps:
1. Ensure that you are using an administrative shell.
2. Copy the text specific to your command shell.
@"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"
3. Paste in shell and press Enter
4. Wait for a few seconds and let the command execute.
5. [Optional] If you are using PowerShell.exe instead of Windows command prompt, there is an additional step. You must ensure Get-ExecutionPolicy is not Restricted.
a. Run Get-ExecutionPolicy. If it returns Restricted, then run Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned or Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process.
b. Use following command istead of the earlier mentioned in point 2.
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
And Voila! Its done!
