Chocolatey[3] is a machine-level, command-line package manager and installer for Windows software. It uses the NuGet packaging infrastructure and Windows PowerShell to simplify the process of downloading and installing software.[4]
In April 2014, Microsoft debuted OneGet (later renamed PackageManagement) alongside PowerShell 5. It is a free and open-source package-provider manager, which provides a way to integrate other package managers into PowerShell. OneGet was pre-configured to browse the Chocolatey repository.[5][6]
The name is an extension on a pun of NuGet (from "nougat") "because everyone loves Chocolatey nougat".[7]
