Step 1: Review Your Packages

Step 2: Choose Your Integration Method

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.
- You can also just download the packages and push them to a repository
  Download Packages

Option 2: Internalized Package (Reliable, Scalable)

Open Source
- Download the packages:
  Download Packages
- Follow manual internalization instructions
Package Internalizer (C4B)
- Run: (additional options)
- For package and dependencies run:
- Automate package internalization

Step 5: Copy Your Script

See options you can pass to upgrade.

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:

If Applicable - Chocolatey Configuration/Installation


## 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.2.4.3.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."
}

#requires -Modules cChoco
## 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.2.4.3.nupkg",

### c. Internal Repository Credential ###
#### If required, add the repository access credential here
#        $NugetRepositoryCredential = [PSCredential]::new(
#            "username",

## 3. ENSURE CHOCOLATEY IS INSTALLED ##
### Ensure Chocolatey is installed from your internal repository
        Environment chocoDownloadUrl {
            Name  = "chocolateyDownloadUrl"
            Value = $ChocolateyNupkgUrl
        }

            InstallDir = Join-Path $env:ProgramData "chocolatey"
            ChocoInstallScriptUrl = $ChocolateyInstallPs1Url
        }

## 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
#        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
        cChocoConfig commandExecutionTimeoutSeconds {
            DependsOn  = "[cChocoInstaller]installChocolatey"
            ConfigName = "commandExecutionTimeoutSeconds"
            Value      = 14400
        }

#### 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"

            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/
        cChocoPackageInstaller updateChocolatey {
            DependsOn   = "[cChocoSource]addInternalSource", "[cChocoSource]removeCommunityRepository"

        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"

Deployment Method: Individual Install, Upgrade, & Uninstall

To install Git (Install), run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:

To upgrade Git (Install), run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:

To uninstall Git (Install), run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)

2. 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.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

Option 2: Internalized Package (Reliable, Scalable)

Open Source
- Download the package:
  Download
- Follow manual internalization instructions

Package Internalizer (C4B)

Run: (additional options)

choco download git.install --internalize --version=1.9.5.20150319 --source=https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/

For package and dependencies run:

choco push --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"

Automate package internalization

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade git.install -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'1.9.5.20150319'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

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:


choco upgrade git.install -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'1.9.5.20150319'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

NOTE

This package is likely a meta/virtual (*) or an installer (*.install) or portable (*.portable) application package.

Meta/virtual (*) - has a dependency on the *.install or the *.portable package - it is provided for discoverability and for other packages to take a dependency on.
Portable (*.portable/*.commandline (deprecated naming convention)/*.tool (deprecated naming convention)) - usually zips or archives that require no administrative access to install.
Install (*.install/*.app (deprecated naming convention)) - uses native installers, usually requires administrative access to install.

Learn more about chocolatey's distinction of installed versus portable apps and/or learn about this kind of package.

Package Approved

This package was approved by moderator mwrock on 23 Mar 2015.

Description

Git (for Windows) – Git is a powerful distributed Source Code Management tool. If you just want to use Git to do your version control in Windows, you will need to download Git for Windows, run the installer, and you are ready to start.

Note: Git for Windows is a project run by volunteers, so if you want it to improve, volunteer!

Package Specifics

The package uses default install options minus cheetah integration and desktop icons. Cheetah prevents a good upgrade scenario, so it has been removed.

Package Parameters

The following package parameters can be set:

/GitOnlyOnPath - this puts gitinstall\cmd on path. This is also done by default if no package parameters are set.
/GitAndUnixToolsOnPath - this puts gitinstall\bin on path. This setting will override /GitOnlyOnPath.
/NoAutoCrlf - this setting only affects new installs, it will not override an existing .gitconfig. This will ensure 'Checkout as is, commit as is'

These parameters can be passed to the installer with the use of -params.
For example: -params '"/GitAndUnixToolsOnPath /NoAutoCrlf"'.

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.
