Next, you'll learn about how PowerShell 5 supports Chocolatey and its package provider. Finally, you'll cover all the community packages available on Chocolatey.org and how you can use them in your professional setting. By the end of this course, you'll have a deeper understanding of Chocolatey NuGet and an easier way to build automation packages for software installation.
