Install Remote Desktop Manager using Chocolatey

Installing Remote Desktop Manager can be streamlined using Chocolatey, a package manager for Windows. Begin by installing Chocolatey; if you already have Chocolatey installed, you can proceed directly to the Remote Desktop Manager installation steps.

Install Chocolatey

Prerequisites

To install Chocolatey, ensure your system meets the following requirements:

• Operating system: Windows 7 or later / Windows Server 2003 or later
• PowerShell: Version 2 or later
• .NET Framework: Version 4 or later

The installation process will automatically attempt to install .NET Framework 4.0 if it is not already present on your system.

Installation steps

1. Open PowerShell as an administrator. To do so, you can press Windows+X and select Terminal (Admin).
2. Copy and paste the following installation command into the PowerShell window and press Enter:

   Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

3. After the command completes, verify the installation by running the choco command. If Chocolatey is installed correctly, you should see the Chocolatey version.
