uru / Chocolatey

View History

Overview

Chocolatey is a package manager for Windows targeted at easily installing applications and tools. It is built upon the NuGet infrastructure and currently uses PowerShell to enable installs from an administrative cmd.exe or powershell shell.

While uru is currently deciding how to best use NuGet and Chocolatey's package distribution capabilities, uru's Chocolatey package will be distributed as a download available from uru's current downloads page.

Although usable, this setup is not nearly as convenient as hosting uru's *.nupkg at one of the online package hosting services. Until the distribution issues are sorted out, use the following semi-automated installation method.

Chocolatey uru Install

  1. Download uru's *.nupkg file from uru's current downloads to a temporary directory
  2. Open an administrative level cmd.exe or powershell shell
  3. Change to the directory from (1) which contains uru's *.nupkg file
  4. Directly install from uru's *.nupkg file via choco install uru.X.Y.Z.nupkg where X.Y.Z is the version number of the uru *.nupkg file you downloaded from Step 1 (see Troubleshooting Notes if you get stuck on this step)
  5. Close your admin level shell and open a new, non-admin cmd.exe or powershell shell
  6. Start using uru and your registered rubies

Troubleshooting Notes

  • In order to directly install the *.nupkg in Step 4, it appears that you must have chocolatey v0.9.9.7+ installed so that this choc bug is fixed. Otherwise, for Step 4 use choco install uru -source %CD% if using cmd.exe or choco install uru -source $PWD if using powershell.
