Who doesn’t know the drill? After installing a computer you need to make it usable, install some extra software. This typically includes things like a pdf reader, an extra browser, a compression tool, etc…
Instead of manually downloading and installing these tools we should automate this. Luckily there is Chocolatey.
To install Chocolatey, run this command in an administrative cmd
or powershell
box:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
After that, restart your shell (cmd or powershell) in administrator mode and run the choco
command.
An example for a new computer could be something like this:
choco install googlechrome, firefox, winrar, foxitreader, spotify
Enjoy!
