Chocolatey
The Package Manager for Windows – Modern Software Automation
Chocolatey is a Windows package manager that automates software installation, upgrades, and management by wrapping installers, executables, and scripts into compiled packages. It integrates with enterprise tools like SCCM, Puppet, and Chef, making it suitable for both individual developers and large organizations. A paid tier, Chocolatey for Business, adds advanced features like package creation, auditing, central management, and offline support.
Chocolatey wraps installers and scripts into compiled packages that can be installed, updated, and removed via command-line or integrated into existing IT management pipelines.
