Welcome to the Chocolatey Community Package Repository! The packages found in this section of the site are provided, maintained, and moderated by the community.
Moderation
Every version of each package undergoes a rigorous moderation process before it goes live that typically includes:
- Security, consistency, and quality checking
- Installation testing
- Virus checking through VirusTotal
- Human moderators who give final review and sign off
More detail at Security and Moderation.
Organizational Use
If you are an organization using Chocolatey, we want your experience to be fully reliable. Due to the nature of this publicly offered repository, reliability cannot be guaranteed. Packages offered here are subject to distribution rights, which means they may need to reach out further to the internet to the official locations to download files at runtime.
Fortunately, distribution rights do not apply for internal use. With any edition of Chocolatey (including the free open source edition), you can host your own packages and cache or internalize existing community packages.

Edit Package
To edit the metadata for a package, please upload an updated version of the package.
Chocolatey's Community Package Repository currently does not allow updating package metadata on the website. This helps ensure that the package itself (and the source used to build the package) remains the one true source of package metadata.
This does require that you increment the package version.

NOTE: This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.
1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment
Please see the organizational deployment guide
2. Get the package into your environment-
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://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
choco download powershell --internalize --source=https://chocolatey.org/api/v2
(additional options) - Run
choco push --source="'http://internal/odata/repo'"
for package and dependencies - Automate package internalization
- Run
3. Enter your internal repository url
(this should look similar to https://chocolatey.org/api/v2)
4. Choose your deployment method:
choco upgrade powershell -y --source="'STEP 3 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 powershell -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

WMF 5.1 Release Notes: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/wmf/5.1/release-notes
2018.01.05
WMF Version: 5.1.14409.1005
Pkg Version: 5.1.14409.20170510
- fix to .NET version too low error message.
2017.05.10
WMF Version: 5.1.14409.1005
Pkg Version: 5.1.14409.20170510
- fix to .NET version checking logic for Win7 / Server 2008 R2
2017.04.02
WMF Version: 5.1.14409.1005
Pkg Version: 5.1.14409.20170402
- powershell install log files are serialized so that they don't accumulate in the same file across multiple attempts
- if an errors occurs, the errors are extracted from the log file and displayed into the chocolatey log
2017.03.01
WMF Version: 5.1.14409.1005
Pkg Version: 5.1.14409.20170301
- fixed bug misidentifying the .net version on Server 2012
2017.02.14
WMF Version: 5.1.14409.1005
Pkg Version: 5.1.14409.20170214
- fixed bug causing Server 2012 (non-R2) from being detected as windows 8
2017.01.26 (5.1.14409.1005)
- New: Installs WMF 5.1
- Tested On: Win7 + PSH 2, Win7 + WMF 3, Win 8.1 + WMF 4, 2012 R2 + WMF 5.0, Windows 10
- EXPERIMENTAL: Attempts to Preserve the PSModulePath when WMF 5.1 is
installed over WMF 3 on Windows 7 or Server 2008.
How the experimental support works:
*) It only takes effect on Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 and only if WMF 3 is installed
*) You must pre-install at least .NET 4.5.1 (required by WMF 4 and later)
*) You must use the -force switch on the package
What steps are taken to preserve PSModulePath:
1) The custom parts of the PSModulePath backed up to BackupPSModulePath
2) A fix up script that appends those values to the PSModulePath is written to:
%WINDIR%\Temp\psmodulepathfixup.ps1
3) A scheduled task is setup for the next reboot that runs the fix up script
If you find that #3 does not work correctly, then you can use #1 or #2 with some of your
own automation to recover from the PsModulePath overwrite.
2016.12.01 (5.0.10586.20170115)
- Fixed: Package generates error that you must upgrade to Windows 8.1 on Server 2012 (not-R2) domain controllers.
2016.12.01 (5.0.10586.20161201)
- IMPORTANT: This package no longer updates a machine to an older version of PowerShell when 5 cannot be applied, the package must
be explicitly called with the -version parameter if the system being configured cannot take PowerShell 5.
- Updated to use checksums
- Updated to use re-released MSUs discussed here (old ones getting 404s):
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/powershell/2016/02/24/windows-management-framework-wmf-5-0-rtm-packages-has-been-republished/
- Checks and errors if Windows Update service is disabled, the error message suggests enabling it just for the time this package runs
(it is a common good practice to disable Windows Update when doing long running orchestration,
however, it must be enabled for this package to run)
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDANCE:
If you receive the error 'ERROR: Running ["C:\Windows\System32\wusa.exe" ' it generally means the system does not have the prerequisites
required by the .MSU file.
Find the reference to the the log file "PowerShell.Install.evtx" and double-click it to open it in eventvwr. The reason for the failure
should be within the messages in this file.
