Question

Teacher is installing Scratch for Tello EDU Drones, and during the install of Nodes.js, a “Tools Native for Modules” screen appeared. The screen has a ticked checkbox and mentions that it will automatically install the necessary tools. Note this will also install Chocolatey. What is Chocolatey?

Answer

The following are definitions for Chocolatey: · Chocolatey is a package manager for Windows that builds on top of existing Windows technologies, using "NuGet.org"for packaging. A package manager, for those not familiar, is a way to get software onto your machine without much work on your part.

· Chocolatey downloads applications from their official distribution point and then installs, upgrades, uninstalls, and configures them silently on your machine, including dependencies, per the instructions in the package.

· *It is an administrator tool that downloads applications and installs, upgrades, uninstalls, and configures them silently on your machine.

Note: Chocolatey is used in the background to help Scratch communicate with the Tello EDU Drone.

Additional Comments

*The third definition is probably the best explanation.
