[dherman]

We should publish Windows releases with chocolatey.

Please, that'd enable our company to use it.

That's awesome, thank you @ThatGuyKalvin! Is there an easy path forward for updating the link when there's a new version published?

[ThatGuyKalvin]

No worries @charlespierce! I can add you as a maintainer on the chocolatey package. Currently I have to go through a long approval process per version release but I believe you can skip it as you're an official volta maintainer. What's your chocolatey username?

Probably needs automated via a pipeline but it's pretty simple. https://github.com/ThatGuyKalvin/chocolatey-packages/tree/main/volta Update version number in volta.nuspec Update download link and checksum in chocolateyinstall.ps1 Open powershell/cmd from the root package folder. choco pack // This creates a .nupkg e.g. volta1.0.8.nupkg

choco install volta -dv -s . -f // This forces a reinstall of volta using the local chocolatey package. Use this to test installer before publishing.

choco push volta1.0.8.nupkg // Publish the package to chocolatey. May require review (3-5 business days supposedly...)

Reference: https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/create/create-packages

Just to note I have updated the package to 1.0.8 - it's been pending review since 16th June. https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/volta/1.0.8

To install versions currently in review use choco install volta --version=1.0.8

Thank you for looking into this, @charlespierce. This should probably also be mentioned in the docs 🤔

[ThatGuyKalvin]

Just checking in @charlespierce - do you have a chocolatey account that I can add as a maintainer?

[charlespierce]

@ThatGuyKalvin I don't currently have a chocolatey account, no. Is there a portal I can go through to create one?

@charlespierce yes, you can sign up here https://community.chocolatey.org/account/Register
