Resource type:

package

Overview

Manages packages using Chocolatey (Windows package manager).

The syntax for Chocolatey using the puppet provider is a much closer match to *nix package managers, bringing a more agnostic approach to package management across platforms. Chocolatey packages usually contain all of the logic to install software silently on a Windows machine, much like RPM (yum) or DPKG (apt).

Installs can be as simple as

package {'git':
  ensure => latest,
}

See the ReadMe for more information.
