Chocolatey is used to manage the installation of windows software on developer machines. It was selected to improve the time needed to set up a new machine or to stay up-to-date on installed software.
- Install windows software from the command shell.
- Easy update of installed software.
- Catalog of available software to choose from.
- Available software to install is not easy to find.
- You need admin rights to install all software.
- Easy of use when installing available software.
- Reproducible software installation on multiple machines.
- Improved time to setup new machines
- Improved security due to easy update process of installed software
On OSX machines we use brew which works if compared to Chocolatey, a lot better. You could see that on Windows machines the idea of a command line-based software installation tool is not very common, especially if you want to use tools like Python or other scripting languages.
I needed to find a good way to manage dependencies on Windows machines - Chocolatey was it. There's no real good npm alternative on Windows.
- Package management
- Dependency management
- Ease of use
- Availability of libs
- Maintenance - not all packages are kept up to date.
- Dependency management
- Removes manual efforts
- Ease of upgrades
- Saves many man hours from scripting installs/upgrades manually.
- npm and Apache Maven
The big reason I picked Chocolatey was the fact that npm and Maven are not well-suited for native windows environments. I had to run on a Windows Server virtual machine, so was limited by what I could use, and I did not want to install WSL on the machine. So, I picked Chocolately for dependency management on those machines.
