Dependencies​

SWM - Software Management - Solution - VSA Chocolatey Application Management

Process​

  1. Prompts the user for the package name.
  2. Installs Chocolatey if it's not already installed.
  3. Sets an alias for the choco binary in PowerShell (due to how VSA passes the commands to the endpoint, and the fact that we can't refresh the session after the first choco install).
  4. Installs NuGet if not already installed.
  5. Installs/Updates the Foil Module.
  6. Installs the application using Foil.
