notes

In either Internet Explorer (other browsers likely will not work) or from a console (CMD or PowerShell), invoke the Boxstarter launcher:



START http://boxstarter.org/package/url?https://gist.github.com/cnwilkin/8670024/raw/3af21bb7979679f19055b68744428509555fbc3e/boxstarter



If not already installed, this will install Chocolatey and any of its prerequisites. If you did not include /nr/ in the Boxstarter URL, it will manage reboots and automatically log the machine back in so you do not have to attend to it throughout the installation.
