See the [Chocolatey FAQs](https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/faqs) for more information on [meta packages](https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/faqs#what-is-the-difference-between-packages-no-suffix-as-compared-to.install.portable) and [installer/portable packages](https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/faqs#what-distinction-does-chocolatey-make-between-an-installable-and-a-portable-application).

## Install



[Install Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install), and run the following command to install the latest approved stable version from the Chocolatey Community Repository:



```shell

choco install localsend.install --source="'https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2'"

```



Alternatively, the packages as published on the Chocolatey Community Repository will also be mirrored on this repository's [Releases page](https://github.com/brogers5/chocolatey-package-localsend.install/releases). The `nupkg` can be installed from the current directory (with dependencies sourced from the Community Repository) as follows:



```shell

choco install localsend.install --source="'.;https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/'"

```



## Build



[Install Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install), the [Chocolatey Automatic Package Updater Module](https://github.com/majkinetor/au), and the [PowerShellForGitHub PowerShell Module](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerShellForGitHub), then clone this repository.



Once cloned, simply run `build.ps1`. The binary is intentionally untracked to avoid bloating the repository, so the script will download the LocalSend installer binary from the official distribution point, then packs everything together.



A successful build will create `localsend.install.x.y.z.nupkg`, where `x.y.z` should be the Nuspec's `version` value at build time.



Note that Chocolatey package builds are non-deterministic. Consequently, an independently built package will fail a checksum validation against officially published packages.



## Update



This package should be automatically updated by the [Chocolatey Automatic Package Updater Module](https://github.com/majkinetor/au), with update queries implemented by the [PowerShellForGitHub PowerShell Module](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerShellForGitHub). If it is outdated by more than a few days, please [open an issue](https://github.com/brogers5/chocolatey-package-localsend.install/issues).



AU expects the parent directory that contains this repository to share a name with the Nuspec (`localsend.install`). Your local repository should therefore be cloned accordingly:



```shell

git clone [email protected]:brogers5/chocolatey-package-localsend.install.git localsend.install

```



Alternatively, a junction point can be created that points to the local repository (preferably within a repository adopting the [AU packages template](https://github.com/majkinetor/au-packages-template)):



```shell

mklink /J localsend.install ..\chocolatey-package-localsend.install

```



Once created, simply run `update.ps1` from within the created directory/junction point. Assuming all goes well, all relevant files should change to reflect the latest version available. This will also build a new package version using the modified files.



Before submitting a pull request, please [test the package](https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/community-repository/moderation/package-verifier#steps-for-each-package) using the [Chocolatey Testing Environment](https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-test-environment) first.
