Figure 2-2. Choose to install the Chef Development Kit
Figure 2-3
shows the options available for Linux as of this writing. Choose your desired dis-
tribution and version of Linux. Once you've made your selection, a download link for an in-
stallation package will be displayed.
If there is no Chef Development Kit installer for your preferred version of Linux, you'll need
to install the Chef Client for your platform instead and perform some additional steps manu-
ally. Using the Chef Development Kit installer is preferred because it makes installation
more convenient, but it is not necessary. Go back to the
main page
and install the Chef Client
instead.
On the Downloads page, under
Chef Client
, select the distribution and version of Linux in-
stalled on your computer as shown in
Figure 2-4
. Once you've made these selections, a
download link for an installation package will be displayed.
The details for the installation process will vary by Linux distribution. Refer to the web page
for more specific instructions. You will get a link to an installation package or a script.
