chocolateyとは、Windowsのパッケージ管理システム

2013年6月15日

Linuxにはパッケージマネージャーがどのディストリビューションにも付属しており、「apt-get」や「yum」と言ったコマンドから利用可能であり、他のパッケージ（ソフト・アプリケーション）との依存関係等も解決してくれます。

＊chocolatey （http://chocolatey.org/）

Windowsではそうのようなパッケージマネージャーがありませんでしたが、最近になって登場したのは「Chocolatey」というWindows用のパッケージマネージャーです。また、「Ninite」、「NuGet」や「OpenWrap」という「Chocolatey」と似たようなWindows用のパッケージマネージャーがありますが、ここではその説明は省きます。また、Windows 8ではアプリストアが新しく使えるようになりましたが、まだまだWindows 8のアプリストアのソフトウェアの数は多くありません。

＊chocolateyで使えるパッケージの種類

https://chocolatey.org/packagesから調べることができますが、例として以下があります。

AdobeReader、Adobe AIR RunTime、Flash Player Plugin、InkScape、Bleachbit、VirtualDub、Notepad++、7Zip、VLC、Google Chrome、FileZilla、Firefox、CCleaner、Paint.NET、Skype、VirtualBox、DropBox、winrar、LibreOffice、MySQL、SkyDrive、Google Drive、等など

＊Chocolateyをインストールするには

以下のコマンドをコマンドプロンプト［CMD］から行います。管理者権限でインストールする必要はありません。

C:\ @powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%systemdrive%\chocolatey\bin

インストール時のコマンドプロンプトは以下のようになります。

C:\>@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%systemdrive%\chocolatey\bin

Installing chocolatey on this machine
Creating ChocolateyInstall as a User Environment variable and setting it to 'C:\
Chocolatey'
We are setting up the Chocolatey repository for NuGet packages that should be at the machine level. Think executables/application packages, not library packages
.
That is what Chocolatey NuGet goodness is for.
The repository is set up at 'C:\Chocolatey'.
The packages themselves go to 'C:\Chocolatey\lib' (i.e. C:\Chocolatey\lib\yourPa
ckageName).
A batch file for the command line goes to 'C:\Chocolatey\bin' and points to an executable in 'C:\Chocolatey\lib\yourPackageName'.

Creating Chocolatey NuGet folders if they do not already exist.

Chocolatey is now ready.
You can call chocolatey from anywhere, command line or powershell by typing chocolatey.
Run chocolatey /? for a list of functions.
You may need to shut down and restart powershell and/or consoles first prior to using chocolatey.
If you are upgrading chocolatey from an older version (prior to 0.9.8.15) and don't use a custom chocolatey path, please find and delete the C:\NuGet folder after verifying that C:\Chocolatey has the same contents (minus chocolateyinstall of course).
Ensuring chocolatey commands are on the path
