Chocolatey[2] is a machine-level, command-line package manager and installer for software on Microsoft Windows. It uses the NuGet packaging infrastructure and PowerShell to simplify the process of downloading and installing software.[3]
The name is an extension on a pun of NuGet (from "nougat") "because everyone loves Chocolatey nougat".[4]
The choco command is used to start the Chocolatey command-line package manager.[5][6][7]
