Powershell: choclatey: find cached installer/files Choclatey uses?
Hi,
I would like to investigate the files choclatey uses before installing (via choco install) but don't want to buy the business version.
I can find the nupkg via https://chocolatey.org/api/v2/package/firefox/69.0. It downloads a Firefox.Nupkg
The file is also only few mb.
choco search firefox -exact --approved-only --detail gives some info but not the exact downloadlocation(s)
Choclatey must cache it somehwere, how can I find this so I can check? Also is there some guarantuee the files are safe (virusscanned/MD5?).
I'd need to install via Powershell, so would prefer an automated approach.
