Deployment Method: Individual Install, Upgrade, & Uninstall
To install POV-ray, run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To upgrade POV-ray, run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To uninstall POV-ray, run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
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 pov-ray --internalize --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 pov-ray -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [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 pov-ray -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

The Persistence of Vision Ray-Tracer creates three-dimensional, photo-realistic images using a rendering technique called ray-tracing. It reads in a text file containing information describing the objects and lighting in a scene and generates an image of that scene from the view point of a camera also described in the text file. Ray-tracing is not a fast process by any means, but it produces very high quality images with realistic reflections, shading, perspective and other effects.
Licensing
This installs both the AGPL3-licensed application and the editor DLLs which implement the optional codemax code editor not covered by the AGPL3. The DLLs are provided pursuant to the license that applied to the previous version of POV-Ray (v3.62) and may only be used under those terms.
Note
The POV-ray installer has no option for system-wide installs, completely ignoring users other than the installing user. See here and here for details. Until the POV-ray developers resolve the problem, there are two (partial) work-arounds for multi-user systems:
- Include all required user files in the default user profile. This measurably slows down initial logins and increases (future) user profile size whether or not POV-Ray is used and does not make POV-Ray functional for other, existing users. POV-Ray will work regardless of the calling application (Explorer, etc.).
- Establish a "launcher" script. This does not touch the default user profile and works for existing and future users. However, if a user starts POV-Ray without using the script (e.g. from inside another application), it will be broken for that user going forward. Also, if registry editing is blocked, the POV-Ray application may not recognize the editor installation. These can (usually) be mitigated by configuring other applications to call POV-Ray via the script.
This Chocolatey package follows work-around (2). The "launcher" establishes necessary files/settings on first run, but as it is not official, it may not always function as expected. Testing is recommended. Some other Chocolatey packages for applications that can use POV-Ray may be designed to utilize the script. The package parameter (below) will have the package installer also follow work-around (1).
Package Parameters
The following package parameter can be set:
/default
- The POV-Ray user files and settings will be included in the default user profile.
This parameter can be passed to the installer with the use of -params
.
For example :
choco install pov-ray -params '"/Default"'
$AppName = 'POV-Ray'
$RegistryLocation = 'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall'
$unexe = Get-ItemProperty "$RegistryLocation\*" |
Where-Object { $_.displayname -match $AppName} |
Select-Object -ExpandProperty UninstallString
$UninstallArgs = @{
packageName = $AppName
fileType = 'exe'
file = $unexe
silentArgs = '/S'
validExitCodes = @(0)
}
Uninstall-ChocolateyPackage @UninstallArgs
$PathsToDelete = @(
'HKLM:\Software\POV-Ray'
'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\POV-Ray'
'HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\POV-Ray for Windows v3.7'
Join-Path $env:ProgramFiles 'POV-Ray'
Join-Path $env:USERPROFILE '\..\default\documents\POV-Ray'
Join-Path ([Environment]::GetFolderPath("commondesktopdirectory")) "Launch POV-Ray v3.7.lnk"
)
Foreach ($path in $PathsToDelete) {
if (Test-Path $path) {
Remove-Item $path -Recurse -Force
}
}

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.
