That’s all thanks to an easy-to-use package manager that supports even more software than Ninite or macapps.link: Chocolatey. This process is much, much faster than doing things the manual way – visiting every app’s website, downloading and running its setup program, and sitting around while that chugs along, but now we can do even better. Once you’ve finalised your list, you either get a custom installer (Ninite) or a Terminal command (macapps.link) you can run to quickly dump a bunch of apps on your new system. Both sites allow you to pick and choose apps you’d like to install on your new system.


One of the very first things I do when I’m faced with a fresh operating system is to fire up its default browse – the meh Edge or Safari – and head straight to Ninite (Windows) or macapps.link (Mac).
