Introduction
Often in automation, we need to install stuff from command line, not from the UI. We will install Perl from command line, and with Dockerfile.
How to Install Perl from Command line
As we have seen in previous post on How to install packages from command line This post is motivated from that only.
Install Chocolatey first
Open powershell
RUN Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; \
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]'Tls,Tls11,Tls12'; \
iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString("https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1"));Install Perl
Once chocolatey is installed, you need to fire just one command to install strawberry perl or activeperl.
choco install strawberryperl -y;Via Dockerfile
FROM microsoft/windowsservercore:ltsc2016
SHELL ["powershell", "-Command", "$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'; $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue';"]
ENV CHOCO_URL=https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1
RUN Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; `
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]'Tls,Tls11,Tls12'; `
iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString("$env:CHOCO_URL"));
RUN choco install strawberryperl -y;
