you can Register-PackageSource and then Install-Package which is basically what Chocolatey is.

In fact, to install chocolatey on your computer you can run "Install-Package -Name Chocolatey"

"Set-PackageSource -Name chocolatey -ProviderName chocolatey" makes Install-Package more useful, at which point you dont need chocolatey installed, as youve already added it as a repo that Install-Package can access. "Install-PackageProvider Chocolatey" also works. I find it all a little confusing which is which but oh well.

I suppose its up to you which is more pleasant to type "choco install xx -y" or "Install-Package -Name xx"
