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.

To edit the metadata for a package, please upload an updated version of the package.
Chocolatey's Community Package Repository currently does not allow updating package metadata on the website. This helps ensure that the package itself (and the source used to build the package) remains the one true source of package metadata.
This does require that you increment the package version.

This package was approved by moderator purity on 06 Feb 2015.
This package is deprecated. BinRoot is already built into Chocolatey.
Set's the chocolatey_bin_root(depricated) and ChocolateyBinRoot environment variable to a default value of 'bin' if not already set. This allows packages such as Ruby, Python etc. to install in \bin instead of the system root.
$packageName = 'BinRoot'
### Set the environment variable for the bin root to a default value if not already set ###
if($env:chocolatey_bin_root -eq $null){[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("chocolatey_bin_root", "\bin", "User")}
if($env:ChocolateyBinRoot -eq $null){[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("ChocolateyBinRoot", "\bin", "User")}
No results available for this package. We are building up results for older packages over time so expect to see results. If this is a new package, it should have results within a day or two.
