Chocolatey offline installer

This repository serves as my reference when working in environments that lack configuration management or require offline installation. It's based on official documentation: Completely offline install.

1. Prerequisites are present on Windows machine:

   • PowerShell 3.0+ PowerShell supported version list
   • .NET Framework 4.8+ Chocolatey requirement list
   • 7zip or you can enable windows built in option in install.ps1 file
     • set $env:chocolateyUseWindowsCompression = 'true'
       

   1.1. Official download links for offline prerequisites:

   • PowerShell: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases
   • .NET: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download
   • 7-zip: https://7-zip.org/download.html
   • Chocolatey: https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/chocolatey

2. Downloaded install.ps1 script from https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1
   Locate into your preferred directory, for this example I used C:\OfflineInstaller

3. Download Chocolatey package you intend to install, locate it to same directory as install.ps1 in previous step.

4. In install.ps1 file I edited value for $ChocolateyDownloadUrl =. Do check the script and adjust it to your liking❕

[CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName = 'Default')]
param(
    # The URL to download Chocolatey from. This defaults to the value of
    # $env:chocolateyDownloadUrl, if it is set, and otherwise falls back to the
    # official Chocolatey community repository to download the Chocolatey package.
    # Can be used for offline installation by providing a path to a Chocolatey.nupkg.
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
    [string]
    $ChocolateyDownloadUrl = 'file:C:\OfflineInstaller\chocolatey.2.7.1.nupkg',

5. Open up PowerShell and run install.ps1
