We would prefer to maintain documentation only for officially supported install channels.

I totally understand that.

Is there anything to stop Chocolatey becoming a supported install channel, in the same way that brew on Mac is supported?

from azure-docs-cli.

Currently, there are installers for the most common platforms, including the MSI for Windows, but it's unfeasible for us to support every single installer.

It's great to see a community contributed package and we have an issue tracking this:
Azure/azure-cli#3874

@gep13 Do you have download numbers for installs through chocolatey?
If it is a common install path, we can consider increasing the priority of the above issue.

Thanks!

Closing this so that discussion can move over to Azure/azure-cli#3874 - centered on official support for a package type, not docs.

from azure-docs-cli.

The downloads stats for that package can be seen on the package page here:

https://chocolatey.org/packages/azure-cli

Which is not a small number by any means.

Does this help influence the decision? Given that a community package already exists, the amount of work required to take it over would be minimal, and definitely something that we could help getting you set up with.
