Thanks Dariusz, there are tons of ways to do the install. I walked people through ONE way.

I prefer WinGet to Chocolatey, it's built into Windows to help you manage software installs. 😉

I also stopped using Chocolatey a while back in favor of winget.

If winget supported powershell script for install like choco does, we would have hugo via winget. But winget needs actual installers it seems:

From the docs (docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/p...
The winget tool supports the following types of installers:
EXE
INNO
NULLSOFT
MSI
APPX
MSIX
BURN

And now you work at Octopus Deploy!
I've set that up in 2014 and we are still actively using that today! Love the product.
