如果组策略阻止7zip，我如何使用Chocolatey？

Question

I tried to use chocolatey and it seems that my work restricted this for some reason. Is there any way to make it install correctly in a corporate workplace?

This is my current output when trying to install chocolatey (complains about being blocked by group policy)

Answer 1

For system administrators, Chocolatey is extremely corporate friendly. You set up your own custom server and create packages that are internal, accessing internal resources. You disable the default source (chocolatey.org). There are numerous companies doing this now.

Chocolatey.org (aka the community feed) is what may not be corporate friendly.

For folks not in ops, you should see what your sysadmins are interested in allowing. From your post, it looks like they don't like the usage of 7zip. However it is not required. Take a look at the Puppet provider - https://forge.puppetlabs.com/chocolatey/chocolatey#use-an-internal-chocolateynupkg-for-chocolatey-installation or alternative installation methods at https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/wiki/Installation .

There are other package management systems for Windows, one of the better known ones is Ninite. You can find a compare/contrast between Chocolatey and Ninite here:
