Chocolatey<\/a> is a decent package manager for Windows OS, it is usable and has an updated list of packages<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Package manager provides a way to install\/uninstall the software from CLI.<\/p>\n

If you are not a CLI user, Chocolatey package manager is a good way to start using CLI<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What is the benefit of CLI package manager<\/strong> software?<\/p>\n

For me personally, the benefit is in spending less time in operations of installing, updating and uninstalling<\/a> software.<\/p>\n

The traditional workflow of installing software<\/strong> is usually the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. open web a browser<\/li>\n
  2. search for webpage from where the software can be downloaded (just this can take a long time)<\/li>\n
  3. open the desired webpage and search for from where to download software<\/li>\n
  4. then initial download<\/li>\n
  5. after the download is completed, start the installation and do “Next-Next-Finish”<\/li>\n
  6. delete the original installation file<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As you can see there are 6 steps<\/strong> in the workflow minimally.<\/p>\n

    With CLI package manager all<\/strong>, I need to do in CLI is to type choco install SOFTWARE<\/code> and everything else is done automatically<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    This is more productive<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    If you want GUI there is also a package for that<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
