Requirements
Administrator Rights
Chocolatey requires administrator rights for most functions (software installs, configuration changes, etc) and by design cChocoEx also imposes the same requirements.
PowerShell Version
PowerShell 4.0 is the minimum version required to actually invoke functions in this module. 5.1 is the recommended versioned as it will natively include the PowerShellGet Module from Microsoft which will make installing/updated modules much more seamless. Alternative option is to manually unpack the module and any dependencies.
Operating System Versions
Windows 10/11
Windows Server 2016/2019/2022
PowerShell Gallery
This modules public repository is the PowerShell Gallery. All dependent modules will automatically pull from this location as well. Self hosting is supported and a common scenario is most corporate environments.
Chocolatey.org
By default the chocolatey application install script and source binaries are pulled direct from chocolatey.org along with needed binaries. This should be fine for personal use and testing, but self hosting is strongly advised to avoid rate limiting. These options can be defined when running the Start-cChocoEx function.
