Project Summary

Chocolatey is software management automation for Windows.
Choco is the CLI for Chocolatey

Chocolatey works with 20+ native install types, but it can manage things you would normally xcopy deploy. You can work w/registry settings, managing files & configurations, or any combination. Since it uses PowerShell, if you can dream it, you can do it w/Chocolatey.

Builds on familiar technologies:
* PowerShell
* Unattended installs

We didn't try to reinvent the wheel. We are building on technologies you know, technologies you may have been using for years. With those familiar technologies Chocolatey brings the concepts of package management to allow you to version things, manage dependencies and installation order, better inventory management, and other features.
