Description - Chocolatey



Chocolatey is a free software update management tool for Windows. Although most software updates are simple enough to install, they all have to be done individually, which can be a time-consuming nuisance. This application automates the process, letting you download a wide range of software from a command-line interface.Simple and effectiveChocolatey runs from your PC`s command-line interface. You can use the tool to see what software packages are available -- the list includes everything from the everyday (like Skype) to the more recondite (like various programming languages and developer tools). Once you`ve told the application to download a package, it simply downloads and installs it with no further clicking required. It isn`t for everyone -- if you`re not used to dealing with the command-line interface, it can be a little confusing. On the other hand, your everyday user isn`t usually burdened by the need to download huge numbers of software updates. The target audience for this app tend to be developers or IT professionals who need to install a lot of software or other resources quickly. But if you`re comfortable running a tool from the command line, Chocolatey can make the process of setting up a new PC much quicker.Not pretty but fastChocolatey doesn`t have the prettiest user interface, but it`s a very effective tool if you spend a little time learning how to use it.
