Download Command (choco download)

Package Copy / Package Downloader

Chocolatey Professional and up (Pro+) starting in version 1.7.1.

Downloads a package from a source and unpacks it.

Package Internalizer

Chocolatey for Business (C4B) starting at licensed version 1.5.0. Chocolatey for Managed Service Providers (MSP) starting in 1.12.1.

Downloads a package from a source, optionally downloading remote resources and recompiling the package to use internal resources. This takes an existing package and makes it available without any internet requirement.

See https://chocolatey.org/docs/features-automatically-recompile-packages

Usage

choco download <pkg> [<options/switches>] [install_script_variable=value]

Install script variables are values that are discovered in the
 chocolateyInstall.ps1 (or a script it calls). When you find values
 there maybe don't get found and replaced or they use a default
 value and you want to provide a value for them to use instead, you
 can find them and then provide the value you want to pass instead.
 For example, in the Firefox package, it uses a default value of
 'en-US' for `$locale`. If you want to change that, you can add
 `locale` and a value, which will replace `$locale` in the script,
 e.g. `choco download firefox --internalize locale=en-GB`.

Examples

choco download sysinternals

Options and Switches

NOTE: Options and switches apply to all items passed, so if you are running a command like install that allows installing multiple packages, and you use --version=1.0.0, it is going to look for and try to install version 1.0.0 of every package passed. So please split out multiple package calls when wanting to pass specific options.

Includes [[default options/switches|CommandsReference#default-options-and-switches]] (included below for completeness).
