- administrar una lista de repositorios de software en el que los paquetes se pueden buscar, adquirir e instalar
- buscar y filtrar repositorios para encontrar los paquetes que necesitamos
- instalar y desinstalar paquetes de una o más repositorios con un solo comando PowerShell
Lo bueno es que incluyen directamente un plugin para Chocolatey, un administrador de paquetes parecido a apt-get o yum pero para Windows, también de código abierto y que podemos usar incluso en Windows 7 y Windows 2008 R2.
Veamos un ejemplo instalando VLC en Windows 10:
C:> get-packageprovider -name chocolatey
The provider 'chocolatey v2.8.5.130' is not installed.
chocolatey may be manually downloaded from https://oneget.org/ChocolateyPr30.exe and installed.
Would you like PackageManagement to automatically download and install 'chocolatey'?
