I thought I'd try to the one-get meta package manager that Microsoft has included in Windows 10. I found this useful article that goes over how to use it. One open source software that I had yet to install on my computer is LibreOffice, so after install the package provider chocolately, I then ran the following the command and it appears to install. However, I can't find any information about where it installed. I found that it created a folder in C://chocolately, but that appears to be mostly empty. Is there anything else I need to do to install LibreOffice? 

get-packageprovider -name chocolatey
install-package libreoffice

Output after get-package provider:

Name                     Version          DynamicOptions
----                     -------          --------------
Chocolatey               2.8.5.130        SkipDependencies, ContinueOnFailure, ExcludeVersion, ForceX86, PackageSave...

There is no output after install-package libreoffice, however if I remove it and then reinstall it I get this output

The package(s) come from a package source that is not marked as trusted.
Are you sure you want to install software from 'chocolatey'?

  • Just to make sure: there is no new start menu entry and there is no LibreOffice installed in C:/Program Files? You might try choco install libreoffice and add for verbose mode -v (--verbose).

So Chocolatey doesn't have an official OneGet provider released yet. For more information see http://us8.campaign-archive2.com/?u=86a6d80146a0da7f2223712e4&id=0165685e1f

Reposting the important parts:

The current Chocolatey OneGet provider is not yet complete. In fact it is a preview that was written in April 2014 and is based on a two year old Chocolatey (even then it doesn't have all the features). I would consider it broken and incompatible with the current choco CLI. We've heard reports of it working for some folks, but for the vast majority of folks, you may run into issues with it. So we recommend that you don't use it until we announce that it is ready to use, which will be somewhere around the end of this year or in Q1/Q2 2016. We are looking for folks to help out with this. If you are interested, please reach out at https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey-oneget.

  • Ah thanks, the other posts I read implied that one-get support for Chocolately was good to go. Any update on this since we are entering the Q2 of 2016?

  • Updates are that once Kickstarter bits are complete and 0.9.10 is out, then there will be time for me to work on the provider if I am doing the work. Otherwise other folks are welcome to jump in sooner and help out.

  • Aha! So I found the real problem! When I tried to install chocolately manually, I go this error: go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170 That's why Chocolately wasn't working to begin with! I guess they need to work on error handling with one-get.

  • Yeah, if you drop to using the cmd.exe install instructions, it uses bypass as the security policy
