# salt.modules.chocolatey

A dead simple module wrapping calls to the Chocolatey package manager (http://chocolatey.org)

New in version 2014.1.0.

salt.modules.chocolatey.add_source(name, source_location, username=None, password=None)

  Instructs Chocolatey to add a source.

  name

    The name of the source to be added as a chocolatey repository.

  source

    Location of the source you want to work with.

  username

    Provide username for chocolatey sources that need authentication credentials.

  password

    Provide password for chocolatey sources that need authentication credentials.

  CLI Example:

      salt '*' chocolatey.add_source <source name> <source_location>
      salt '*' chocolatey.add_source <source name> <source_location> user=<user> password=<password>

salt.modules.chocolatey.bootstrap(force=False, source=None)

  Download and install the latest version of the Chocolatey package manager via the official bootstrap.

  Chocolatey requires Windows PowerShell and the .NET v4.0 runtime. Depending on the host's version of Windows, chocolatey.bootstrap will attempt to ensure these prerequisites are met by downloading and executing the appropriate installers from Microsoft.

  Note

  If PowerShell is installed, you may have to restart the host machine for Chocolatey to work.

  Note

  If you're installing offline using the source parameter, the PowerShell and .NET requirements must already be met on the target. This shouldn't be a problem on Windows versions 2012/8 and later

  Parameters:

    - force (bool) -- Run the bootstrap process even if Chocolatey is found in the path.

    - source (str) --

      The location of the `.nupkg` file or `.ps1` file to run from an alternate location. This can be one of the following types of URLs:

      - salt://

      - http(s)://

      - ftp://

      - file:// - A local file on the system

      New in version 3001.

  Returns:

    The stdout of the Chocolatey installation script

  Return type:

    str

  CLI Example:

      # To bootstrap Chocolatey
      salt '*' chocolatey.bootstrap
      salt '*' chocolatey.bootstrap force=True

      # To bootstrap Chocolatey offline from a file on the salt master
      salt '*' chocolatey.bootstrap source=salt://files/chocolatey.nupkg

      # To bootstrap Chocolatey from a file on C:\Temp
      salt '*' chocolatey.bootstrap source=C:\Temp\chocolatey.nupkg
