Windows 10 Package Manager: how to get the Chocolatey?

How in the Win10 Package manager (former OneGet) to set up the Chocolatey repository so that Chocolatey packages become available?

Nuget is configured as a provider (get-packageprovider) and source (get-packagesource) but I cannot figure a way to convince Nuget to use the Chocolatey repository and install things like 7zip, notepadplusplus and so on.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Did you consider searching for it. 

This is the first thing that comes up when we type your question into a search engine: https://chocolatey.org/

Sure, I'm using the Chocolatey and its repository on several computers from WinXP up. But on pre-Win10 OS, Chocolatey has its own... engine? (not sure what is the proper name of it). 

On Win10 I expected to be able to use its own PS applets.

I think you are referring to PowerShell 5 or WMF 5 which comes preset to use OneGet and Chocolatey.
