Pack Command (choco pack)

Chocolatey will attempt to package a nuspec into a compiled nupkg. Some may prefer to use cpack as a shortcut for choco pack.

NOTE: 100% compatible with older chocolatey client (0.9.8.32 and below) with options and switches. In most cases you can still pass options and switches with one dash (-). For more details, see [[how to pass arguments|CommandsReference#how-to-pass-options--switches]] (choco -?).

NOTE: cpack has been deprecated as it has a name collision with CMake. Please use choco pack instead. The shortcut will be removed in v1.

Usage

choco pack [<path to nuspec>] [<options/switches>]
cpack [<path to nuspec>] [<options/switches>] (DEPRECATED)

Examples

choco pack
choco pack --version 1.2.3
choco pack path/to/nuspec

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).
