Deployment Method:
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
-
Open Source
-
Download the package:
Download - Follow manual internalization instructions
-
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
-
Run: (additional options)
choco download miktex.install --internalize --version=20.12 --source=https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
-
For package and dependencies run:
choco push --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
- Automate package internalization
-
Run: (additional options)
3. Copy Your Script
choco upgrade miktex.install -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'20.12'" [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 miktex.install -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'20.12'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}

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.

MiKTeX (pronounced mick-tech) is an up-to-date implementation of TeX/LaTeX and related programs. TeX is a typesetting system written by Donald Ervin Knuth who says that it is intended for the creation of beautiful books - and especially for books that contain a lot of mathematics.
MiKTeX comes with TeXworks, a TeX frontend which you can use it to edit and preview LaTeX documents.
The sky is the limit when it comes to TeX/LaTeX, with drawings, chemical equations, syntax trees, circuit diagrams, mathematical expressions, proof systems, chessboards and more! (Image source)
MiKTeX's integrated package manager installs missing components from the Internet, if required.
Package Set Parameter (optional)
/Set:(option)
- Download and install theessential
,basic
(default), orcomplete
set of TeX packages/tools./Mirror:(URL)
- This will use the(url)
, a CTAN mirror to download MiKTeX. It is recommended to only use this if the default mirror as chosen by the MiKTeX setup utility doesn't work for some reason.* Hint: Including/Mirror
(valid or not) will write the list of "official", URLs to the Chocolatey log.
Custom Repository Parameter (optional)
This package has only the MiKTeX setup utility embedded. Any new install of MiKTeX involves using the setup utility to download and create a (temporary by default) repository and then installing from that repository. This Chocolatey package can both establish a more permenant repository (for sharing with other computers) and use a specific (possibly private) repository from which to install MiKTeX. Thus a single computer within a network could download MiKTeX from the internet and create a repository, and all other computers on the network could use that repository to install MiKTeX saving external bandwidth.
Using a Custom Repository:
/RepoPath:(path)
-- with a local or UNC path. This will install or update MiKTeX from a specific existing repository. No attempt to update the repository itself will be made. Upgrades should use this repository in the future by default. Note: If both/RepoPath
(with a UNC path) and/Mirror
are used,/Mirror
will be ignored.
Creating a Custom Repository:
/RepoPath:(path)
- with a local directory as(path)
. This will create (or update) the repository in the location. MiKTeX will also be installed. Note: The repository will not be shared or accessible to other systems without additional administrator actions and will not be removed on an uninstall.
Examples:
- On a server, you might use:
choco install miktex.install --params '"/Set:complete /RepoPath:""c:\Shared Files\MiKTeX-Repo"""'
Double-double quotes (i.e. ""path""
) are necessary for paths containing a space.
- On a workstation in the same network, you might use:
choco install miktex.install --params '"/RepoPath://localserver/MiKTeX-Repo"'
$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'
# Is MiKTeX already installed?
[array]$key = Get-UninstallRegistryKey -SoftwareName 'miktex*'
if ($key.Count -gt 1) {
Throw 'More than one install of MiKTeX found! Cannot uninstall without risking other copies.'
} elseif ($key.Count -eq 1) {
Write-Verbose "Found an install of MiKTeX."
# Use MiKTeX's built-in updater
$InstallDir = (Split-Path $key.UninstallString).trim('"')
$MiKTeXsetup = Join-Path $InstallDir 'miktexsetup.exe'
Write-Verbose 'Uninstalling MiKTeX using integrated setup utility.'
$InstallArgs = @{
Statements = '--verbose --shared=yes uninstall'
ExetoRun = $MiKTeXsetup
WorkingDirectory = $InstallDir
validExitCodes = @(0)
}
$exitCode = Start-ChocolateyProcessAsAdmin @InstallArgs
Write-Verbose "MiKTeX uninstall process exited with: $exitCode"
# Sometimes items are left behind
if (Test-Path "$env:ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MiKTeX") {
Remove-Item "$env:ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MiKTeX" -Force -Recurse
}

_The following article is an adaption of the article “Copying
conditions for TeX Live” (reference given at the end)._
## Copying conditions for MiKTeX
To the best of our knowledge, all software in the MiKTeX distribution
is freely redistributable (libre, that is, not necessarily gratis),
within the Free Software Foundation's definition and the Debian Free
Software Guidelines. Where the two conflict, we generally follow the
FSF. If you find any non-free files included, please contact us
(reference given at the end).
That said, MiKTeX has neither a single copyright holder nor a single
license covering its entire contents, since it is a collection of many
independent packages. Therefore, you may copy, modify, and/or
redistribute software from MiKTeX only if you comply with the
requirements placed thereon by the owners of the respective packages.
To most easily learn these requirements, we suggest checking the
MiKTeX package catalogue (reference given at the end). Of course the
legal statements within the packages themselves are the final
authority.
### Guidelines for redistribution
In general, you may redistribute MiKTeX, with or without modification,
for profit or not, according to the usual free software tenets. Here
are some general guidelines for doing this:
* If you make any changes to the MiKTeX distribution or any package it
contains, besides complying with any licensing requirements, you
must prominently mention such changes in your modified distribution
so that users do not take your work for ours, and know to contact
you, not us, in case of questions or problems.
* Especially (but not necessarily) if changes or additions are made,
we recommend a clearly different title, such as “Your work, based on
MiKTeX x.y.zzzz”, where x.y.zzzz is the Git tag of the MiKTeX
version you are using. This credits both our work and yours.
* You absolutely may not place your own copyright on the entire
distribution, since it is not your work. Statements such as “all
rights reserved” and “may not be reproduced” are especially
reprehensible, since they are antithetical to the free software
principles under which MiKTeX is produced.
* You may use any cover or media label designs that you wish. Such
packaging and marketing details are not covered by any MiKTeX
license.
* Finally, we make the following requests (not legal requirements):
a. Acknowledging that the MiKTeX distribution is developed as a
joint effort by all TeX user groups, and encouraging the
user/reader to join their user group of choice, as listed on the
web page <http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html>.
b. Referencing the MiKTeX project page: <https://miktex.org/>.
Such information may be placed on the label of your media, your
cover, and/or in accompanying text (for instance, in the
acknowledgements section of a book).
Finally, although it is certainly not a requirement, we'd like to
invite any redistributors to make a donation to the project, whether
cash or in-kind, for example via
<https://miktex.org/giveback>. Thanks.

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.
