Welcome to the Chocolatey Community Package Repository! The packages found in this section of the site are provided, maintained, and moderated by the community.
Moderation
Every version of each package undergoes a rigorous moderation process before it goes live that typically includes:
- Security, consistency, and quality checking
- Installation testing
- Virus checking through VirusTotal
- Human moderators who give final review and sign off
More detail at Security and Moderation.
Organizational Use
If you are an organization using Chocolatey, we want your experience to be fully reliable. Due to the nature of this publicly offered repository, reliability cannot be guaranteed. Packages offered here are subject to distribution rights, which means they may need to reach out further to the internet to the official locations to download files at runtime.
Fortunately, distribution rights do not apply for internal use. With any edition of Chocolatey (including the free open source edition), you can host your own packages and cache or internalize existing community packages.

Your use of the packages on this site means you understand they are not supported or guaranteed in any way. Learn more...

Edit Package
To edit the metadata for a package, please upload an updated version of the package.
Chocolatey's Community Package Repository currently does not allow updating package metadata on the website. This helps ensure that the package itself (and the source used to build the package) remains the one true source of package metadata.
This does require that you increment the package version.
All Checks are Passing

To install Ortep3, run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To upgrade Ortep3, run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To uninstall Ortep3, run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
NOTE: This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.
1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment
Please see the organizational deployment guide
2. Get the package into your environment-
Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://chocolatey.org/api/v2. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download
-
Open Source
- Download the Package Download
- Follow manual internalization instructions
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
- Run
choco download ortep3 --internalize --source=https://chocolatey.org/api/v2
(additional options) - Run
choco push --source="'http://internal/odata/repo'"
for package and dependencies - Automate package internalization
- Run
3. Enter your internal repository url
(this should look similar to https://chocolatey.org/api/v2)
4. Choose your deployment method:
choco upgrade ortep3 -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'" [other options]
See options you can pass to upgrade.
See best practices for scripting.
Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade ortep3 -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

Ortep-3 for Windows is a MS-Windows version of the current release of ORTEP-III (1.0.3), which incorporates a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to make production of thermal ellipsoid plots much easier.
License
Ortep-3 for Windows is provided free of charge for academic, scientific, educational and non-commercial users, provided its use is acknowledged. A license is required and may be requested. If you do not yet have a license file, this package will still install, but Ortep3 will not start.
Helper programs
Ortep can call other programs. These are not dependencies. This package will pre-set for Ortep-3 the paths for these programs. It will use the default install paths for the following applications (whether they are installed or not), but the paths (and programs) can be changed with parameters (see below):
Package Parameters
The following package parameters can be set:
/installDir:
<path>The default location for Ortep3 is C:\Ortep3. This package by default will install to a more standard, "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Ortep3", but the directory can be customized.
/LicensePath:
<path>If you have a license file, "ORTEP3-License.txt", you can place it in "C:\Temp" (default) and this package will copy it to the proper location. Adjust the location with this parameter. The path can be a file path or URL.
/editor:
<path> - Assign a text editor helper program other than Notepad./povray:
<path> - Assign an alternate path for POV-ray./gsview:
<path> - Assign an alternate path for GhostScript View or another PS file viewer./graphics:
<path> - Assign a graphics viewer helper program other than IrfanView (for example, XnView)./hpgl:
<path> - Assign an alternate path for HP-GL View or another HP-GL file viewer.
These parameters can be passed to the installer with the use of -params
.
For example :
-params '"/LicensePath:http://localsite.org/ortep3license.txt /editor:""C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe"""'
.
(note: the double-double quotes around the path are only needed if it contains spaces)

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
