Please read before using scripts.
When you use our sample scripts, these will direct to Chocolately to install the packages. By using Chocolatey to install a package, you are accepting the license for the application, executable(s), or other artifacts delivered to your machine as a result of a Chocolatey install. This acceptance occurs whether you know the license terms or not. Read and understand the license terms of any package you plan to install prior to installation through Chocolatey. If you do not want to accept the license of a package you are installing, you need to uninstall the package and any artifacts that end up on your machine as a result of the install.
Chocolately has implemented security safeguards in their process to help protect the community from malicious or pirated software, but any use of these scripts is at your own risk.
