That being different from using wget or curl in bash or easy_install how again?

  wget http://bit.ly/psChocInstall

  ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString("http://bit.ly/psChocInstall"))

If you happen to have wget, sure. Windows doesn't, by default. It is far more likely that the machine will have powershell, and if it does, it has the .net frameworks.

But, with wget, the line is

  iex (wget -qO- http://bit.ly/psChocInstall)

which isn't too bad.

That is just a way to install chocolatey. After you install, running installs is 'cinst somepackagename'
