Welcome to the Chocolatey Community Package Repository! The packages found in this section of the site are provided, maintained, and moderated by the community.
Moderation
Every version of each package undergoes a rigorous moderation process before it goes live that typically includes:
- Security, consistency, and quality checking
- Installation testing
- Virus checking through VirusTotal
- Human moderators who give final review and sign off
More detail at Security and Moderation.
Organizational Use
If you are an organization using Chocolatey, we want your experience to be fully reliable. Due to the nature of this publicly offered repository, reliability cannot be guaranteed. Packages offered here are subject to distribution rights, which means they may need to reach out further to the internet to the official locations to download files at runtime.
Fortunately, distribution rights do not apply for internal use. With any edition of Chocolatey (including the free open source edition), you can host your own packages and cache or internalize existing community packages.

Install Script
Step 1: Review Your Packages
Step 2: Choose Your Integration Method
Step 3: Enter Your Internal Repository Url
(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)
Step 3: Copy Your Script or Download Config
Option 1: Copy Script
Option 2: Download Config
Step 4: Setup Your Environment
1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment
Please see the organizational deployment guide
2. Get the package into your environment
Option 1: Cached Package (Unreliable, Requires Internet - Same As Community)-
Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.

See best practices for scripting.
Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
## 1. REQUIREMENTS ##
### Here are the requirements necessary to ensure this is successful.
### a. Internal/Private Cloud Repository Set Up ###
#### You'll need an internal/private cloud repository you can use. These are
#### generally really quick to set up and there are quite a few options.
#### Chocolatey Software recommends Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or ProGet as they
#### are repository servers and will give you the ability to manage multiple
#### repositories and types from one server installation.
### b. Download Chocolatey Package and Put on Internal Repository ###
#### You need to have downloaded the Chocolatey package as well.
#### Please see https://chocolatey.org/install#organization
### c. Other Requirements ###
#### We initialize a few things that are needed by this script - there are no other requirements.
$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"
#### Set TLS 1.2 (3072) as that is the minimum required by various up-to-date repositories.
#### Use integers because the enumeration value for TLS 1.2 won't exist
#### in .NET 4.0, even though they are addressable if .NET 4.5+ is
#### installed (.NET 4.5 is an in-place upgrade).
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072
#### We use this variable for future REST calls.
$RequestArguments = @{
UseBasicParsing = $true
}
## 2. TOP LEVEL VARIABLES ##
### a. Your internal repository url (the main one). ###
#### Should be similar to what you see when you browse
#### to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
$NugetRepositoryUrl = "INTERNAL REPO URL"
### b. Internal Repository Credential ###
#### If required, add the repository access credential here
# $NugetRepositoryCredential = [PSCredential]::new(
# "username",
# ("password" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)
# )
# $RequestArguments.Credential = $NugetRepositoryCredential
### c. Chocolatey nupkg download url ###
#### This url should result in an immediate download when you navigate to it
$ChocolateyDownloadUrl = "$($NugetRepositoryUrl.TrimEnd('/'))/package/chocolatey.1.1.0.nupkg"
### d. Chocolatey Central Management (CCM) ###
#### If using CCM to manage Chocolatey, add the following:
#### i. Endpoint URL for CCM
# $ChocolateyCentralManagementUrl = "https://chocolatey-central-management:24020/ChocolateyManagementService"
#### ii. If using a Client Salt, add it here
# $ChocolateyCentralManagementClientSalt = "clientsalt"
#### iii. If using a Service Salt, add it here
# $ChocolateyCentralManagementServiceSalt = "servicesalt"
## 3. ENSURE CHOCOLATEY IS INSTALLED ##
### Ensure Chocolatey is installed from your internal repository
#### Download the Nupkg, appending .zip to the filename to handle archive cmdlet limitations
if (-not (Get-Command choco.exe -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {
$TempDirectory = Join-Path $env:Temp "chocolateyInstall"
if (-not (Test-Path $TempDirectory -PathType Container)) {
$null = New-Item -Path $TempDirectory -ItemType Directory
}
$DownloadedNupkg = Join-Path $TempDirectory "$(Split-Path $ChocolateyDownloadUrl -Leaf).zip"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $ChocolateyDownloadUrl -OutFile $DownloadedNupkg @RequestArguments
#### Extract the Nupkg, and run the chocolateyInstall script
if (Get-Command Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive\Expand-Archive -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) {
Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive\Expand-Archive -Path $DownloadedNupkg -DestinationPath $TempDirectory -Force
} else {
# PowerShell versions <4.0 do not have this function available
try {
$shellApplication = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
$zipPackage = $shellApplication.NameSpace($DownloadedNupkg)
$destinationFolder = $shellApplication.NameSpace($TempDirectory)
$destinationFolder.CopyHere($zipPackage.Items(), 0x10)
} catch {
Write-Warning "Unable to unzip package using built-in compression."
throw $_
}
}
& $(Join-Path $TempDirectory "tools\chocolateyInstall.ps1")
}
if (-not (Get-Command choco.exe -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {
refreshenv
}
## 4. CONFIGURE CHOCOLATEY BASELINE ##
### a. FIPS Feature ###
#### If you need FIPS compliance - make this the first thing you configure
#### before you do any additional configuration or package installations
# choco feature enable -n useFipsCompliantChecksums
### b. Apply Recommended Configuration ###
#### Move cache location so Chocolatey is very deterministic about
#### cleaning up temporary data and the location is secured to admins
choco config set --name cacheLocation --value C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\cache
#### Increase timeout to at least 4 hours
choco config set --name commandExecutionTimeoutSeconds --value 14400
#### Turn off download progress when running choco through integrations
choco feature disable --name showDownloadProgress
### c. Sources ###
#### Remove the default community package repository source
choco source list --limitoutput | ConvertFrom-Csv -Header 'Name', 'Location' -Delimiter '|' | ForEach-Object {
if ($_.Location -eq 'https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/') {
choco source remove -n $_.Name
}
}
#### Add internal default sources
#### You could have multiple sources here, so we will provide an example
#### of one using the remote repo variable here
#### NOTE: This EXAMPLE may require changes
if ($NugetRepositoryCredential) {
choco source add --name ChocolateyInternal --source $NugetRepositoryUrl --user $NugetRepositoryCredential.UserName --password $NugetRepositoryCredential.GetNetworkCredential().Password --priority 1
} else {
choco source add --name ChocolateyInternal --source $NugetRepositoryUrl --priority 1
}
### b. Keep Chocolatey Up To Date ###
#### Keep chocolatey up to date based on your internal source
#### You control the upgrades based on when you push an updated version
#### to your internal repository.
#### Note the source here is to the OData feed, similar to what you see
#### when you browse to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
choco upgrade chocolatey --confirm
## 5. ENSURE CHOCOLATEY FOR BUSINESS ##
### If you don't have Chocolatey for Business (C4B), you'll want to remove from here down.
### a. Ensure The License File Is Installed ###
#### Create a license package using script from https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/how-tos/setup-offline-installation#exercise-4-create-a-package-for-the-license
choco install chocolatey-license --source $NugetRepositoryUrl --confirm
### b. Disable The Licensed Source ###
#### The licensed source cannot be removed, so it must be disabled.
#### This must occur after the license has been set by the license package.
if ("chocolatey-license" -in (choco list --localonly --limitoutput | ConvertFrom-Csv -Header "Name" -Delimiter "|").Name) {
choco source disable --name chocolatey.licensed
} else {
Write-Warning "Not disabling 'chocolatey.licensed' feed, as Chocolatey-License has not been installed."
}
### c. Ensure Chocolatey Licensed Extension ###
#### You will have downloaded the licensed extension to your internal repository
#### as you have disabled the licensed repository in step 5b.
#### Ensure the chocolatey.extension package (aka Chocolatey Licensed Extension)
if ("chocolatey-license" -in (choco list --localonly --limitoutput | ConvertFrom-Csv -Header "Name" -Delimiter "|").Name) {
choco install chocolatey.extension --source $NugetRepositoryUrl --confirm
} else {
Write-Warning "Not installing 'chocolatey.extension', as Chocolatey-License has not been installed."
}

## 1. REQUIREMENTS ##
### Here are the requirements necessary to ensure this is successful.
### a. Internal/Private Cloud Repository Set Up ###
#### You'll need an internal/private cloud repository you can use. These are
#### generally really quick to set up and there are quite a few options.
#### Chocolatey Software recommends Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or ProGet as they
#### are repository servers and will give you the ability to manage multiple
#### repositories and types from one server installation.
### b. Download Chocolatey Package and Put on Internal Repository ###
#### You need to have downloaded the Chocolatey package as well.
#### Please see https://chocolatey.org/install#organization
### c. Other Requirements ###
#### i. Requires chocolatey\cChoco DSC module to be installed on the machine compiling the DSC manifest
#### NOTE: This will need to be installed before running the DSC portion of this script
if (-not (Get-Module cChoco -ListAvailable)) {
$null = Install-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -MinimumVersion 2.8.5.201 -Force
if (($PSGallery = Get-PSRepository -Name PSGallery).InstallationPolicy -ne "Trusted") {
Set-PSRepository -Name PSGallery -InstallationPolicy Trusted
}
Install-Module -Name cChoco
if ($PSGallery.InstallationPolicy -ne "Trusted") {
Set-PSRepository -Name PSGallery -InstallationPolicy $PSGallery.InstallationPolicy
}
}
#### ii. Requires a hosted copy of the install.ps1 script
##### This should be available to download without authentication.
##### The original script can be found here: https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1
Configuration ChocolateyConfig {
## 2. TOP LEVEL VARIABLES ##
param(
### a. Your internal repository url (the main one). ###
#### Should be similar to what you see when you browse
#### to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
$NugetRepositoryUrl = "INTERNAL REPO URL",
### b. Chocolatey nupkg download url ###
#### This url should result in an immediate download when you navigate to it in
#### a web browser
$ChocolateyNupkgUrl = "INTERNAL REPO URL/package/chocolatey.1.1.0.nupkg",
### c. Internal Repository Credential ###
#### If required, add the repository access credential here
# $NugetRepositoryCredential = [PSCredential]::new(
# "username",
# ("password" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)
# ),
### d. Install.ps1 URL
#### The path to the hosted install script:
$ChocolateyInstallPs1Url = "https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1"
### e. Chocolatey Central Management (CCM) ###
#### If using CCM to manage Chocolatey, add the following:
#### i. Endpoint URL for CCM
# $ChocolateyCentralManagementUrl = "https://chocolatey-central-management:24020/ChocolateyManagementService",
#### ii. If using a Client Salt, add it here
# $ChocolateyCentralManagementClientSalt = "clientsalt",
#### iii. If using a Service Salt, add it here
# $ChocolateyCentralManagementServiceSalt = "servicesalt"
)

#### before you do any additional configuration or package installations
# cChocoFeature featureFipsCompliance {
# FeatureName = "useFipsCompliantChecksums"
# }
### b. Apply Recommended Configuration ###
#### Move cache location so Chocolatey is very deterministic about
#### cleaning up temporary data and the location is secured to admins
cChocoConfig cacheLocation {
DependsOn = "[cChocoInstaller]installChocolatey"
ConfigName = "cacheLocation"
Value = "C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\cache"
}
#### Increase timeout to at least 4 hours

}
#### Turn off download progress when running choco through integrations
cChocoFeature showDownloadProgress {
DependsOn = "[cChocoInstaller]installChocolatey"
FeatureName = "showDownloadProgress"
Ensure = "Absent"
}
### c. Sources ###
#### Remove the default community package repository source
cChocoSource removeCommunityRepository {
DependsOn = "[cChocoInstaller]installChocolatey"
Name = "chocolatey"
Ensure = "Absent"
}
#### Add internal default sources
#### You could have multiple sources here, so we will provide an example
#### of one using the remote repo variable here.
#### NOTE: This EXAMPLE may require changes
cChocoSource addInternalSource {
DependsOn = "[cChocoInstaller]installChocolatey"
Name = "ChocolateyInternal"
Source = $NugetRepositoryUrl
Credentials = $NugetRepositoryCredential
Priority = 1
}
### b. Keep Chocolatey Up To Date ###
#### Keep chocolatey up to date based on your internal source
#### You control the upgrades based on when you push an updated version
#### to your internal repository.
#### Note the source here is to the OData feed, similar to what you see
#### when you browse to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/

}
## 5. ENSURE CHOCOLATEY FOR BUSINESS ##
### If you don't have Chocolatey for Business (C4B), you'll want to remove from here down.
### a. Ensure The License File Is Installed ###
#### Create a license package using script from https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/how-tos/setup-offline-installation#exercise-4-create-a-package-for-the-license
cChocoPackageInstaller chocolateyLicense {
DependsOn = "[cChocoPackageInstaller]updateChocolatey"
Name = "chocolatey-license"
}
### b. Disable The Licensed Source ###
#### The licensed source cannot be removed, so it must be disabled.
#### This must occur after the license has been set by the license package.
Script disableLicensedSource {
DependsOn = "[cChocoPackageInstaller]chocolateyLicense"
GetScript = {
$Source = choco source list --limitoutput | `

}
SetScript = {
$null = choco source disable --name "chocolatey.licensed"
}
TestScript = {
$State = [ScriptBlock]::Create($GetScript).Invoke()
return $State.Result
}
}
### c. Ensure Chocolatey Licensed Extension ###
#### You will have downloaded the licensed extension to your internal repository
#### as you have disabled the licensed repository in step 5b.
#### Ensure the chocolatey.extension package (aka Chocolatey Licensed Extension)
cChocoPackageInstaller chocolateyLicensedExtension {
DependsOn = "[Script]disableLicensedSource"
Name = "chocolatey.extension"
}

or for a Distributor Fee, and with or without a Compiled form of the
Modified Version) provided that you clearly document how it differs
from the Standard Version, including, but not limited to, documenting
any non-standard features, executables, or modules, and provided that
you do at least ONE of the following:
(a) make the Modified Version available to the Copyright Holder of
the Standard Version, under the Original License, so that the Copyright
Holder may include your modifications in the Standard Version.
(b) ensure that installation of your Modified Version does not prevent
the user installing or running the Standard Version. In addition, the
Modified Version must bear a name that is different from the name of
the Standard Version.
(c) allow anyone who receives a copy of the Modified Version to make
the Source form of the Modified Version available to others under (i)
the Original License or (ii) a license that permits the licensee to
freely copy, modify and redistribute the Modified Version using the
same licensing terms that apply to the copy that the licensee received,
and requires that the Source form of the Modified Version, and of any
works derived from it, be made freely available in that license fees
are prohibited but Distributor Fees are allowed.
Distribution of Compiled Forms of the Standard Version or Modified Versions without the Source
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(5) You may Distribute Compiled forms of the Standard Version without
the Source, provided that you include complete instructions on how to
get the Source of the Standard Version. Such instructions must be valid
at the time of your distribution. If these instructions, at any time
while you are carrying out such distribution, become invalid, you must
provide new instructions on demand or cease further distribution. If
you provide valid instructions or cease distribution within thirty days
after you become aware that the instructions are invalid, then you do
not forfeit any of your rights under this license.

result does not expose a direct interface to the Package.
Items That are Not Considered Part of a Modified Version
--------------------------------------------------------
(9) Works (including, but not limited to, modules and scripts) that
merely extend or make use of the Package, do not, by themselves, cause
the Package to be a Modified Version. In addition, such works are not

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.

v3.4.0 Mon Jun 29 23:04:18 CDT 2020
[FEATURES]
When calling "ack -c" to get a list of filenames and counts, the filename
would not be colored like when getting normal search results. Now it will.
Thanks to Matthew Hughes for adding the feature, and Ophir Lifshitz for the
suggestion. (GH#282)
Added --toml for the TOML filetype. (GH#306)
[FIXES]
The test t/ack-x.t would fail when run as root. Now it is skipped. Thanks,
Michael LaGrasta. (GH#217)
v3.3.1 Mon Jan 13 10:27:16 CST 2020
[FIXES]
Some regexes would be shown as invalid when used with the -Q option. Since
the -Q tells ack to treat the regex as a literal, this shouldn't be
possible. (GH#294)
v3.3.0 Sat Dec 28 16:00:21 CST 2019
[FEATURES]
The error message ack displays when the regex passed is invalid has been
improved. The message is more readable and includes a pointer to the
offending part of the regex. For example:
$ ack 'status: (open|closed|in progress'
ack: Invalid regex 'status: (open|closed|in progress'
Regex: status: (open|closed|in progress
^---HERE Unmatched ( in regex
Added many new file and directory exclusions to speed up file selection.
- Python's *.pyc, *.pyd and *.pyo compiled files
- Python's __pycache__ and .pytest_cache directories
- Linux *.so shared object files
- Windows dynamic-link library *.dll files
- gettext compiled *.mo translation files
- macOS's __MACOSX directories and .DS_Store files
Reorganized the --help menu to put "action" options like -f, -g and -l at
the top of the listing.
The --show-types option only has an effect with -f or -g. ack will now
tell you if you use --show-types without -f or -g when it will have no
effect.
Improved the error message when ack gets passed two options that can't be
used together.
[FIXES]
Fixed the behavior of --break and --heading. Using --break would
implicitly set --noheading, and --heading would implicitly set --nobreak.
The following pairs of options don't make sense to use together, and ack will now warn you if you try:
- -x and --files-from
- -v and -o
- -v and --output
- -v and --passthru
Fixed the minimum version of the Getopt::Long module required. (GH #287)
The line number and filename separators in --passthru mode now work the
same as in context (-A/-B/-C) mode. (GH #291)
v3.2.0 Sun Nov 3 22:52:18 CST 2019
[FEATURES]
Added "-t X" as a short alias for --type=X.
Added "-T X" as a short alias for --type=noX.
The feature of using the name of the type as an option is deprecated. For
example, ack currently lets you use "--perl" instead of "--type=perl" or
"-t perl", This is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
Removed support for Parrot (--parrot).
v3.1.3 Sat Oct 19 19:23:48 CDT 2019
No changes to functionality. Fixed a problem with version numbers.
Thanks to Dan Book for his help.
See https://github.com/beyondgrep/ack3/commit/b3c43d44109dea6ebc0753107a8e85a6b322f4ca
v3.1.2 Mon Oct 14 21:47:51 CDT 2019
[SPEEDUP]
Using -w with a pattern that ended with a metacharacter would be slower
than it should be because it would skip an optimization. Now it's fixed.
(GH #181, #251)
[FIXES]
Fixed test failures that would sometimes happen on Windows machines because
of taint mode. Thanks, Tomasz Konojacki. (GH #235)
Remove the use of the version.pm module.
v3.1.1 Sat Aug 31 22:56:10 CDT 2019
[SPEEDUP]
Improved the speed up the -l, -L and -c options by pre-scanning the file
in bulk before doing line-by-line scan. (GH #221)
ack now uses File::Next 1.18 which calls stat() only once per file or
directory, instead of sometimes calling it twice. This should improve the
time spent traversing directories.
[FIXES]
On Windows, patterns with $ to mark the end of the line would not match.
(GH #229)
[DOCUMENTATION]
Fixed docs that referred to --range-stop instead of --range-end. (GH #228)
v3.1.0 Thu Aug 22 22:43:15 CDT 2019
[FEATURES]
Added the --range-start and --range-end options to allow searching only
ranges of each file. (GH #165)
v3.0.3 Tue Aug 20 23:42:02 CDT 2019
[FIXES]
Made smartcase's check for lowercase patterns smarter.
[DOCUMENTATION]
Updated many URLs, especially in the config. (GH #223)
v3.0.2 Thu Jul 4 21:42:43 CDT 2019
[FIXES]
ack's smart-case feature would think that a pattern like "select \S+ from"
is looking for a uppercase letter, and so would not make a case-insensitive
search. Now, ack knows that uppercase letters in metacharacters don't
count as looking for a uppercase letter. (GH #156, 187, 214)
v3.0.1 Tue Jun 25 20:47:58 CDT 2019
[FIXES]
The -s option tells ack not to complain about missing or unreadable files
it tries to search. The -s option would not always work in conjection with
the -x option. Now it does. Thanks, Anders Eriksson and M. Scott Ford.
(GH #175)
ack would die if you specified a --output option that didn't use one
of Perl's special match variables. Now it won't. Thanks, M. Scott
Ford. (GH #210)
[INTERNALS]
Added a Dockerfile for use when working on ack development. Thanks,
M. Scott Ford. (GH #208)
