🍫 Choco

Sometimes it may be helpful to release the most recent version to Chocolatey. The application will auto update on the user's machines regardless of version, but having a halfway recent version on Chocolatey is helpful regardless.

Here's how the update process happens:

• Make sure you can authenticate on Chocolatey with write access to modgallery on the site
• Install Chocolatey
• Authenticate
• Navigate to /scripts/choco/ModGallery
• Open scripts/chocolateyinstall.ps1
• Adjust $url so that it points to the newest release
• Adjust checksum (use the checksum command to calculate it from the executable setup file)
• Open an admin PowerShell in the directory
• Run choco pack to build a new version of the application
• Run choco install modgallery --source .\modgallery.<version>.nupkg -y (adjust path to your version)
• Check if the software installed properly (might need to refresh windows or run refreshenv to see it pop up)
• Run and try out the software
• Close it again
• Run choco uninstall modgallery -y
• Check if the software uninstalled properly (might need to refresh windows or run refreshenv)
• If it's all ready to release, run choco push --source https://push.chocolatey.org/
