OneGet whenever I have an opportunity. Over 3,800 applications available (compare to Ninite's less than 100) to be installed without any unwanted additional software, without any "Click this" or "Click Next" or "Do you also want to install this or that software". Install all your software with one command, silently in background. All software downloaded directly from provider, either latest stable version or any other available older version.
This with a native, built-in Windows 10 tool.
Mini tutorial:
- In an elevated PowerShell, allow running scripts: Set-Executionpolicy Unrestricted
- Install Chocolatey package provider: Get-PackageProvider Chocolatey
- Install software, for instance Install-Package vlc, FoxitReader, TeamViewer, Malwarebytes, Steam, Skype, Office365HomePremium -Force
Steps 1 & 2 need to be done only once. Later on you can just open elevated PS and directly install software with Install-Package.
That's it. The -Force switch at the end automates the installation of the applications listed in Install-Package cmdlet.
Real glad you turned me on to Chocolatey. As the site says this makes PS almost like a clone of apt-get,zypper or dnf. I nstalled several programs from the site with no incidents.
Sending this from openSUSE Tumbleweed which dual boots with Windows 10.
