Description
As a user, I want the ability to use my system without the command line. Currently, if I want to use Chocolatey I have to first install the command line tool (using the command line) and then install Chocolatey GUI (using the command line). Now I am able to leverage Chocolatey from the comfort of my GUI.
It would be nice if I could just run an installer (something most users are familiar with) that would install Chocolatey, Chocolatey GUI, and optionally a desktop icon, start menu entry and taskbar icon. This way I wouldn't be afraid to give Chocolatey a try due to command line voodoo that is frightening to me.
