$ chef-zero --port 9501
NOTE
You can run chef-zero in “daemonized” mode by passing in the --daemon parameter.
Chef-zero will detach itself from the current command line process and run in the back-
ground.
As shown in Figure 11-1 , when run on a command line, chef-zero will display that it is
listening, not returning to the command prompt. This is why we recommend running it in a
separate window. Leave chef-zero running for now.
Figure 11-1. Run chef-zero in a window alongside your cookbook
Make sure that the chef-playground directory is the current working directory. Assuming

$ pwd
/Users/misheska/chef-playground
$ knife client list
