Using Chocolatey From Terminal

[PHIstw]

Hi

 

I am trying to deploy a new solution on my systems and I thought of a combo Chocolatey + PulseWay in order to facilitate deployement. I managed to install choco using the command:

@"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"

 

When going to the targeted system, I can use choco without any issue. However, from the terminal or scripts in Pulseway, the command "choco" is not recognized. Would you have any idea why and how I can fix this?

 

Thank you,

Regards

Hi @PHIstw,

The Pulseway service is running under the system account on the remote system, therefore it is possible that the Chockolatey is installed only for currently logged in user.

Try using the full path to choco.exe in your scripts, like this:
 

@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\choco.exe (
	C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\choco.exe install curl --no-progress -y
    ) ELSE (ECHO Chocolatey is not installed - Aborting!)
Exit 0;
