Chocolatey is a package manager for Windows that makes it easy to install, update, remove, and manage software directly from the command line. It acts as an automated tool, similar to package managers in Linux systems, allowing for quick and centralized installation of applications and dependencies.
With a simple command, users can access a vast library of packages, which includes popular applications, development tools, and utilities. Chocolatey uses automated scripts to manage installations, ensuring a consistent and efficient process. Additionally, it is widely used in corporate environments, as it supports integrations with automation solutions and custom configurations for large volumes of machines.
Its operation is based on PowerShell and NuGet, and it can be used by both system administrators and users looking for a convenient way to keep their programs organized and up to date.
