title Installation

About plugin installation method of Chef. For example, such as Knife-Zero.

IMHO,
If you make a program of Ruby, I recommend using Bundler while combining with a version manager of Ruby (rvm, rbenv) like other projects.

Next, if you are not required Ruby management, and you want to use the co-workstation server. In this case, I recommend using Chef-DK.

Install with Chef-DK

Install via chef gem subcommand.

$ chef gem install knife-zero

Install from Rubygems

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'knife-zero'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Bundler Example

I usually bundle gems with --binstubs and --path option.

$ bundle install --binstubs --path vendor/bundle

When pass --path option to bundler, RubyGems are installed under one directory.

Previous command creates tree below.

12 directories, 19 files

When pass --binstubs option to bundler, Command Line Tools which included with RubyGems are installed under ./bin(configurable).

$ ./bin/chef-client -v
Chef: 12.3.0


$ ./bin/knife zero 2>/dev/null 
Available zero subcommands: (for details, knife SUB-COMMAND --help)

** ZERO COMMANDS **
knife zero bootstrap FQDN (options)
knife zero chef_client QUERY (options) | It's same as converge
knife zero converge QUERY (options)
knife zero diagnose # show configuration from file

gem command(I don't recommend it)

install it yourself as:

$ gem install knife-zero
