2 validations performed. 1 success(es), 1 warning(s), and 0 error(s).

Validation Warnings:

  • A pending system reboot request has been detected, however, this is
    being ignored due to the current Chocolatey configuration. If you
    want to halt when this occurs, then either set the global feature
    using:
    choco feature enable -name=exitOnRebootDetected
    or pass the option --exit-when-reboot-detected.

Chocolatey detected you are not running from an elevated command shell
(cmd/powershell).

You may experience errors - many functions/packages
require admin rights. Only advanced users should run choco w/out an
elevated shell. When you open the command shell, you should ensure
that you do so with "Run as Administrator" selected. If you are
attempting to use Chocolatey in a non-administrator setting, you
must select a different location other than the default install
location. See
https://chocolatey.org/install#non-administrative-install for details.

Failures

  • httpie (exited -1) - Error while running 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\httpie\tools\chocolateyinstall.ps1'.
    See log for details.

As you can see from the log, the problem is caused by the installation script. The installation script calls the py command, which is optional in windows and does not necessarily exist after installing python. We should call python instead of py
