What is Chocolatey?
Chocolatey is a package manager for Windows. There are commands for Linux such as apt-get and yum for package management. They are very easy to use. Whenever you need to install something, you just write apt-get install packagename or yum install packagename. Here, the idea is to have a similar functionality in Windows.
