TODO | |
1. Determine Package Use: | |
Organization? Internal Use? - You are not subject to distribution | |
rights when you keep everything internal. Put the binaries directly | |
into the tools directory (as long as total nupkg size is under 1GB). | |
When bigger, look to use from a share or download binaries from an | |
internal location. Embedded binaries makes for the most reliable use | |
of Chocolatey. Use `$fileLocation` (`$file`/`$file64`) and | |
`Install-ChocolateyInstallPackage`/`Get-ChocolateyUnzip` in | |
tools\chocolateyInstall.ps1. | |
You can also choose to download from internal urls, see the next | |
section, but ignore whether you have distribution rights or not, it | |
doesn't apply. Under no circumstances should download from the | |
internet, it is completely unreliable. See | |
https://chocolatey.org/docs/community-packages-disclaimer#organizations | |
to understand the limitations of a publicly available repository. | |
Community Repository? | |
Have Distribution Rights? | |
If you are the software vendor OR the software EXPLICITLY allows | |
redistribution and the total nupkg size will be under 200MB, you | |
have the option to embed the binaries directly into the package to | |
provide the most reliable install experience. Put the binaries | |
directly into the tools folder, use `$fileLocation` (`$file`/ | |
`$file64`) and `Install-ChocolateyInstallPackage`/ | |
`Get-ChocolateyUnzip` in tools\chocolateyInstall.ps1. Additionally, | |
fill out the LICENSE and VERIFICATION file (see 3 below and those | |
files for specifics). | |
NOTE: You can choose to download binaries at runtime, but be sure | |
the download location will remain stable. See the next section. | |
Do Not Have Distribution Rights? | |
- Note: Packages built this way cannot be 100% reliable, but it's a | |
constraint of publicly available packages and there is little | |
that can be done to change that. See | |
https://chocolatey.org/docs/community-packages-disclaimer#organizations | |
to better understand the limitations of a publicly available | |
repository. | |
Download Location is Publicly Available? | |
You will need to download the runtime files from their official | |
location at runtime. Use `$url`/`$url64` and | |
`Install-ChocolateyPackage`/`Install-ChocolateyZipPackage` in | |
tools\chocolateyInstall.ps1. | |
Download Location is Not Publicly Available? | |
Stop here, you can't push this to the community repository. You | |
can ask the vendor for permission to embed, then include a PDF of | |
that signed permission directly in the package. Otherwise you | |
will need to seek alternate locations to non-publicly host the | |
package. | |
Download Location Is Same For All Versions? | |
You still need to point to those urls, but you may wish to set up | |
something like Automatic Updater (AU) so that when a new version | |
of the software becomes available, the new package version | |
automatically gets pushed up to the community repository. See | |
https://chocolatey.org/docs/automatic-packages#automatic-updater-au | |
2. Determine Package Type: | |
- Installer Package - contains an installer (everything in template is | |
geared towards this type of package) | |
- Zip Package - downloads or embeds and unpacks archives, may unpack | |
and run an installer using `Install-ChocolateyInstallPackage` as a | |
secondary step. | |
- Portable Package - Contains runtime binaries (or unpacks them as a | |
zip package) - cannot require administrative permissions to install | |
or use | |
- Config Package - sets config like files, registry keys, etc | |
- Extension Package - Packages that add PowerShell functions to | |
Chocolatey - https://chocolatey.org/docs/how-to-create-extensions | |
- Template Package - Packages that add templates like this for `choco | |
new -t=name` - https://chocolatey.org/docs/how-to-create-custom-package-templates | |
- Other - there are other types of packages as well, these are the main | |
package types seen in the wild | |
3. Fill out the package contents: | |
- tools\chocolateyBeforeModify.ps1 - remove if you have no processes | |
or services to shut down before upgrade/uninstall | |
- tools\LICENSE.txt / tools\VERIFICATION.txt - Remove if you are not | |
embedding binaries. Keep and fill out if you are embedding binaries | |
in the package AND pushing to the community repository, even if you | |
are the author of software. The file becomes easier to fill out | |
(does not require changes each version) if you are the software | |
vendor. If you building packages for internal use (organization, | |
etc), you don't need these files as you are not subject to | |
distribution rights internally. | |
- tools\chocolateyUninstall.ps1 - remove if autouninstaller can | |
automatically uninstall and you have nothing additional to do during | |
uninstall | |
- Readme.txt - delete this file once you have read over and used | |
anything you've needed from here | |
- nuspec - fill this out, then clean out all the comments (you may wish | |
to leave the headers for the package vs software metadata) | |
- tools\chocolateyInstall.ps1 - instructions in next section. | |
4. ChocolateyInstall.ps1: | |
- For embedded binaries - use `$fileLocation` (`$file`/`$file64`) and | |
`Install-ChocolateyInstallPackage`/ `Get-ChocolateyUnzip`. | |
- Downloading binaries at runtime - use `$url`/`$url64` and | |
`Install-ChocolateyPackage` / `Install-ChocolateyZipPackage`. | |
- Other needs (creating files, setting registry keys), use regular | |
PowerShell to do so or see if there is a function already defined: | |
https://chocolatey.org/docs/helpers-reference | |
- There may also be functions available in extension packages, see | |
https://chocolatey.org/packages?q=id%3A.extension for examples and | |
availability. | |
- Clean out the comments and sections you are not using. | |
5. Test the package to ensure install/uninstall work appropriately. | |
There is a test environment you can use for this - | |
https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey-test-environment | |
6. Learn more about Chocolatey packaging - go through the workshop at | |
https://github.com/ferventcoder/chocolatey-workshop | |
You will learn about | |
- General packaging | |
- Customizing package behavior at runtime (package parameters) | |
- Extension packages | |
- Custom packaging templates | |
- Setting up an internal Chocolatey.Server repository | |
- Adding and using internal repositories | |
- Reporting | |
- Advanced packaging templates when installers are not friendly to | |
automation | |

# IMPORTANT: Before releasing this package, copy/paste the next 2 lines into PowerShell to remove all comments from this file: | |
# $f='c:\path\to\thisFile.ps1' | |
# gc $f | ? {$_ -notmatch "^\s*#"} | % {$_ -replace '(^.*?)\s*?[^``]#.*','$1'} | Out-File $f+".~" -en utf8; mv -fo $f+".~" $f | |
# 1. See the _TODO.txt that is generated top level and read through that | |
# 2. Follow the documentation below to learn how to create a package for the package type you are creating. | |
