Windows 10 installed will be the latest version released by Microsoft, you do not need to Update more. If you want to install the necessary software, you should use chocolatey to install multiple software at the same time for fast.
How to use Chocolatey to install multiple software at the same time on Windows
Most Windows users do not pay much attention to how to install the software. Most people will download the EXE or MSI file, then click and click until Finish is done. But if you install a lot of software you will be quite a time consuming to download and click. There is a method of installing multiple software at the same time with just 1 command line with Chocolatey. This is a fairly easy method to install multiple software at the same time without having to open multiple windows.
Chocolatey is a software management solution unlike any you’ve ever experienced on Windows. Think of it like this — Chocolatey will automatically download the software you listed first, and automatically install the software on Windows, your task is to only press the Enter button once.
How to install
To install Chocolatey on Windows, simply copy the commands from the Chocolatey.org homepage. To get started, open the Administrator rights CMD.
Step 1: Click the Start button, type CMD, in the right pane select Run as Administrator.
Step 2: Next, copy the following command into the CMD window:
@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command “iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString(‘https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\binYou can also see the chocolatey installation details at Google.
Step 3: Wait a few seconds for the download and installation process to be done.
Step 4: If you do not encounter any errors, you can start using Chocolatey! Enter choco or choco -? to start using.
Install chocolatey style software
Once you have installed Chocolatey, you can use the command line to install other software. Open CMD Admin rights and type cinst [the name of the software you want to install]. If you want to install VLC, type:
When installing the software using Chocolatey, you will have to agree to the terms of software copyright. Then press Y to agree to start the installation.
The installation process will automatically take place, without showing any other windows. You also do not need to click each step. Go to the Desktop, you will see the VLC icon appear and can be used already.
Pretty easy right? But how to find out the correct package name you want to install. You can’t type Chrome or Google-Chrome and expect Chocolatey to find it.
To find the names of software to install, search the catalog of Chocolate packages. Most of this catalog is contributed by the community.
Or you can also search for software packages by command line:
choco search [package name to search]Install multiple software at the same time with Chocolatey
Installing multiple software at once is the main feature of Chocolatey. When the Windows installation is complete, the first thing to do is to reinstall a closed software. You are quite tired of having to download each software and click next, next … Now we will automatically install the software using Chocolatey.
There are two ways to install multiple programs at once using Chocolatey. The first is to enter multiple arguments into the command line. If you want to install VLC, GIMP and Firefox, type:
cinst vlc gimp FirefoxHowever, if you have too many software installed at once, it is better to create an XML file that has the .config file extension and format the following:
<?xml version=”1.0" encoding=”utf-8"?>
<packages>
<package id=”UTorrent” />
<package id=”notepadplusplus” />
<package id=”IrfanView” />
</packages>That XML file structure can include as many programs as you want and maybe even from alternative sources other than Chocolate’s community data source.
Uninstall, update much software at the same time
Not only can you install multiple software at the same time, but you can also uninstall and update software at the same time.
Updating the programs installed via Chocolatey is also simple. Enter the cup [program name] in the CMD Administrator's permission. For example, to update VLC enter:
cup vlc
You can also update all your programs by typing cup all. If your package is using an alternative source other than the primary Chocolatey feed, you can enter:
cup [package name] –source [source URL]Uninstalling (uninstalling) a package is a bit different. Going back to the AnonyViet example you would type the following to uninstall vlc, TeamViewer:
choco uninstall vlc teamviewerThank you for reading my article.
