Installation and use of Windows software management tool Chocolatey

I. Overview

​ Official Website Introduction Chocolatey is a software management solution unlike any other you've experienced on Windows. Chocolatey brings the concept of real package management, allowing you to version things, manage dependencies and install order, better inventory management, and other features. A straightforward understanding is that choco manages our commonly used software similar to the application store on mobile phones. We only need to enter a command to download and install the program to the windows system, which greatly simplifies the tedious steps of manual installation that we often use. .
