## Working with Chocolatey in an organization?
|
||||
As an organization, you may not be keen to reach out to the internet. That's fine as with just a few modifications you can still take advantage of these scripts. Visit the [organizational use page](ORGANIZATION.md) to learn how.

## Don't have administrative access?
|
||||
Are you in an environment where you don't have any administrative access on your machine? No problem, you can still take advantage of Chocolatey and manage "portable" software. You can also use a VM where you may have administrative access (see next section).
|
||||
|
||||
Unfortunately some of Boxstarter's functionality does require administrative privileges to run, and it will prompt to elevate to administrator if not already elevated.
|
||||
|
||||
So while you won't be able to use Boxstarter, take a look at Chocolatey's documentation on [Non-Administrative Install](https://chocolatey.org/install#non-administrative-install). There you will find resources and an example PowerShell script that gives you a quick setup of Chocolatey and installation of a few packages. While not full on Boxstarter, you are still going to get a pretty rapid setup!
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE:**
|
||||
While Chocolatey does not require administrative privileges, some of Boxstarter's functionality does require administrative privileges to run, and it will prompt to elevate to administrator if not already elevated.
|
||||
It's important to point out the open source edition of the Chocolatey client will not allow you to magically install software that requires administrative access, so you will need to find packages that are portable or create those and push them to the community repository or your internal sources.
