Recently installed Hyper-V Tech Preview, since this a core server product with no gui and I needed to install some tools, i.e. cpu-z, I decided to use Chocolatey to manage/install software.

Step 1. I cut and pasted the install command line for chocolatey and installed it. Step 2. I choco install cpu-z Step 3... there is no step three!

This is a great project and would benefit from all the support we can give it.

I'm pressuring everyone I know to into giving money to the Chocolatey kickstarter! I want it to work! Chocolatey is amazing, there's not much missing for it to be an obvious choice for any command-line user.

I recently changed my pc. It took me 2 commands to install 90% of my dailies applications. One for install Chocolatey and the second for "cinst" everything.

I really hope that the kickstarter will succeed and choco become even better than now! :)

Really hope the kickstarter gets funded. Chocolatey is a marvellous tool. It would be great to see it go to the next level.

It'll be interesting to see the balance between the free and pro version of Chocolatey.

I have backed the kickstarter. Chocolatey makes MS Windows much better.

Chocolatey makes life on Windows much easier. Support the Kickstarter!

Chocolatey is one of the first things I install on any machine...

This is great, it has saved me a great deal of time at work.

I can't upvote this story. What's up with that?

10 days to go! Over half way there. Let's do this!

This is what the windows developer community needs!

I've been using Chocolatey for a good while now, and it's great! Just updated my install of mysql workbench using "choco update mysql.workbench" - easy!

I think 'apt-get' for windows is a better description than an alternative to Windows Store.

Backed!

I'm a backer, aren't you?

Please, give money to Choco!

Love me some Chocolatey NuGet.

Thumbs up, dude.

BUMP!

Since Windows Store has failed by design (no Windows applications). Chocolatey is the "last best hope" for Windows package management!
