NOTE: Update has been deprecated and will be removed/replaced in version
1.0.0 with something that performs the functions of updating package
indexes. Please use [[choco upgrade
|Commandsupgrade]] instead.
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.
