Install and manage applications using Chocolatey¶

Run command as admin

Batchfile

$ @"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"

Install packages/applications¶

Batchfile

choco install -y [app1] [app2] [app3] ...

Search application that you are looking for

Batchfile

choco search [keyword]  // chocho search fabric

List all installed applications

Batchfile

choco list -li // with version

Export all installed applications as powershell script¶

PowerShell

PS> choco list --local-only --idonly | % { "choco install -y " + $_ } > choco_install.ps1

Don't forget to remove first and last line from the file, one with choco version and other with applications count.Once exported run the file using powershell as admin to reinstall all the application

Update all applications¶

Batchfile

cup -y all

we can install vs code extensions from command as well

Batchfile

code --install-extension [Unique Identifier] // Eg Angular.ng-template

Export vs code extensions:¶

PowerShell

PS> code --list-extensions | % { "code --install-extension " + $_ } > vscode_extensions_install.ps1

Run vscode_extensions_install.ps1 to install all exported extensions.

similarly, for Visual Studio extensions or packages

Batchfile

choco install -y visualstudio2017professional --package-parameters="'--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Git'"

But, I prefer to use Settings Sync 👍

Here is better way as config file with application versions¶

PowerShell

Write-Output "<?xml version=`"1.0`" encoding=`"utf-8`"?>"
Write-Output "<packages>"
choco list -lo -r -y | % { "   <package id=`"$($_.SubString(0, $_.IndexOf("|")))`" version=`"$($_.SubString($_.IndexOf("|") + 1))`" />" }
Write-Output "</packages>"

And to use: Export

PowerShell

choco-export.ps1 > packages.config

To import:

PowerShell

choco install packages.config
