Chocolatey

Come join in the conversation about Chocolatey in our Community Chat Room. Please make sure you've read over and agree with the etiquette regarding communication. If you are an open source user requesting support, please remember that most folks in the Chocolatey community are volunteers that have lives outside of open source and are not paid to ensure things work for you, so please be considerate of others' time when you are asking for things. Many of us have families that also need time as well and only have so much time to give on a daily basis. A little consideration and patience can go a long way. After all, you are using a pretty good tool without cost. It may not be perfect (yet), and we know that. If you are using a commercial edition of Chocolatey, you have different terms! Please see support. Give choco.exe --help a shot (or choco.exe -h ). For specific commands, add the command and then the help switch e.g. choco.exe install --help . .NET Framework 4.8+ PowerShell 2.0+ Windows Server 2008 R2+ / Windows 10+ See our documentation on the support lifecycle and supported operating systems for additional information 1. Start with Troubleshooting and the FAQ to see if your question or issue already has an answer. 1. If not found or resolved, please follow one of the following avenues: If you are a licensed customer, please see support. You can also log an issue to Licensed Issues and we will submit issues to all other places on your behalf. Another avenue is to use email support to have us submit tickets and other avenues on your behalf (allowing you to maintain privacy). If it is an enhancement request or issue with the website (the community package repository aka please submit the issue to the Chocolatey.org repo. If you have found an issue with the GUI (Chocolatey GUI) or you want to submit an enhancement, please see the ChocolateyGUI repository. If you have found an issue with the client (choco.exe), you are in the right place. Keep reading below. We'll need debug and verbose output, so please run and capture the log with -dv or --debug --verbose . You can submit that with the issue or create a gist and link it. Please note that the debug/verbose output for some commands may have sensitive data (passwords or API keys) related to Chocolatey, so please remove those if they are there prior to submitting the issue. choco.exe logs to a file in $env:ChocolateyInstall log . You can grab the specific log output from there so you don't have to capture or redirect screen output. Please limit the amount included to just the command run (the log is appended to with every command). Please save the log output in a gist (save the file as log.sh ) and link to the gist from the issue. Feel free to create it as secret so it doesn't fill up against your public gists. Anyone with a direct link can still get to secret gists. If you accidentally include secret information in your gist, please delete it and create a new one (gist history can be seen by anyone) and update the link in the ticket (issue history is not retained except by email - deleting the gist ensures that no one can get to it). Using gists this way also keeps accidental secrets from being shared in the ticket in the first place as well. We'll need the entire log output from the run, so please don't limit it down to areas you feel are relevant. You may miss some important details we'll need to know. This will help expedite issue triage. It's helpful to include the version of choco, the version of the OS, and the version of PowerShell (Posh) - the debug script should capture all of those pieces of information. Include screenshots and/or animated gifs whenever possible, they help show us exactly what the problem is. If you would like to contribute code or help squash a bug or two, that's awesome.
