Chocolatey[5] is a machine-level, command-line package manager and installer for software on Microsoft Windows.

It uses the NuGet packaging infrastructure and Windows PowerShell to simplify the process of downloading and installing software.

[7] In April 2014, Microsoft debuted OneGet (renamed PackageManagement on March 20, 2015) alongside PowerShell 5.

OneGet was pre-configured to browse the Chocolatey repository.
