While you have Powershell open, simply type: choco install chocolateygui Once you've finished installing Chocolatey, one of the first things you'll want to do is install Chocolatey GUI, a graphical frontend that makes day-to-day use easier. From there, run the command listed on Chocolatey's site to install.

To get started, you'll want to simply press the Win Key+R, enter cmd in the dialogue box that pops up, then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to run your command line as an admin. I finally decided to give Chocolatey a try a month ago, and I have to say-it's awesome. With more and more software exploits being constantly discovered, having a patched and updated personal or business Windows machine is more important than ever. While the product traditionally caters to Windows Server admins and software developers, I think there's an overlooked audience: the rest of us. The platform has become so popular and well-supported over the past several years that even Microsoft endorses its use and has collaborated with the project directly. Enter Chocolatey, an open-source package manager for Windows. Microsoft has tried to address this problem in a few different ways-most notably with the Windows App Store-but these solutions have always fallen a bit short and never worked with the wide variety of software most business users need. Then keeping all your software current can be a nightmare. Package managers are something most technology users take advantage of nowadays, even if they don't know it-whether you're using an Android device with the Play Store, iOS and OS X's App Stores or a sysadmin running yum or apt-get on your Linux server, the ability to automatically update software has been a given for years.
