How do I install Chocolatey packages behind a proxy on Windows 2012 R2 Core?

Choco series 0.9.9+ was a total rewrite and hasn't implemented all the things yet, including proxy support out of what you set in IE.

Watch issue https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues/243 to know when it available again.

Update: proxy support is in Chocolatey now - see https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/wiki/Proxy-Settings-for-Chocolatey

run this first

choco config set proxy http://proxy_host:proxy_port

I tried this in November 2018:

So, three steps are needed to install and run chocolatey:

1. You need to go and manually download the installation file from:

   https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1

2. You need to either:a. edit the ps1 file OR
   b. your environmental variables.

You need to have the following variables:

    $env:chocolateyProxyLocation = "http://USER:PASSWORD@http://USER:PASSWORD@IP_ADDRESS:PORT    $env:chocolateyProxyUser = "USER"    $env:chocolateyProxyPassword  =  "PASSWORD"   THEY MUST BE AS THEY ARE ABOVE with USER:PASSWORD@PROXY_LOCATION:PORT format.

3. You must call the install.ps1 file. You can call it either from Windows-PowerShell ISE or from the CommandLine

You must call your local script!!! Not the online one, e.g.:

file:///E:/softwares/chocolate_install_script/install.ps1

Call the following:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>@"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('file:///E:/softwares/chocolate_install_script/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"

4. And everything will work if you run this with admin provileges

After, you will need to do:

choco config set proxy http://USER:PASSWORD@IP_ADDRESS:PORTchoco config set proxyUser bobchoco config set proxyPassword 123Sup#rSecur3
