Welcome to AU wiki.

To start using AU quickly you can use one of the following:

• Fork the https://github.com/majkinetor/au-packages-template
  This repository contains everything you need to quickly get started running your updater locally and/or AppVeyor.
• Fork https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey-packages-template
  This repository may be used by people who already have existing automatic packages using Ketarin/ChocolateyPackageUpdater combo and want to keep them or migrate them to AU. It contains tools that are not required when using AU.

See sidebar for topics. Any user can edit the wiki.

Environment variables

In default template AU uses few environment variables to configure AU update options. Those variables are set in two places, depending on where you run the updater:

• Local run
  To run updater on your own machine, copy the file update_vars_default.ps1 and rename it to update_vars.ps1. After you set the variables here, next update_all.ps1 run will take them into account. You are responsible for securing the access to this file (do not include it in the repository).
• AppVeyor
  To run updater on AppVeyor, edit the appveyor.yml environment section. Use secure variables to protect sensitive data.
