Install Test Kitchen on Mac OS X (Chef Client Only)
for some of the hands-on exercises. The Chef Client installer does not install Test Kitchen, so
you'll need to install it manually.
You need to install the
test-kitchen
gem. A
gem
is a supporting library or application writ-
ten in Ruby. You can think of a
gem
as the equivalent of an installer for Ruby.
