Install Chocolately

Let's see if we already have choco installed?

choco --V

Checking your System's Execution Policy

Before we install choco, we are going to check your execution policy for your machine, which determines what scripts or software are allowed to run.

We are going to run the following command in the powershell shell, and check that your policy is not Restricted for your user.

Get-ExecutionPolicy -List

If you are going to be running future commands or scripts, you definately want to fix this. Here are some options:

  • AllSigned. Requires that all scripts and configuration files are signed by a trusted publisher, including scripts written on the local computer.
  • RemoteSigned. Requires that all scripts and configuration files downloaded from the Internet are signed by a trusted publisher. The default execution policy for Windows server computers.
  • ByPass. Nothing is blocked and there are no warnings or prompts. You can use this to temporarily skip security checks: Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process.

We recommend running one of the following:

Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned -Scope CurrentUser

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

Ready to Install

We're ready to run the following command in a powershell shell. This will download a powershell script from https://chocolatey.org, and run it.

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

We should now be able to run choco!

choco --V
