Error installing JQ on windows

Question

I have been trying to install jq using chocoletey

However, when I run the following command, it fails.

choco install jq

Reading the log file, I see that it is pointing the Powershell script is pointing at a ULR that doesn't exist any more

Attempt to get headers for http://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/win64/jq.exe failed.

I tried update the powershell script but choco install still not working for me. Can anyone help me out please.

Resolved it after reading details from the following pull-request.

https://github.com/stedolan/jq/issues/959

The solution is to pass -version 1.5 to the install command. The following works just fine.

choco install jq --force -version 1.5
