Configure Your Chef Development Environment - Learning Chef - page 39

Run the installer for either the Chef Development Kit or the Chef Client , choosing the default
options. The Chef Development Kit installer will install Chef and Ruby in the
C:\opscode\chefdk directory on your local machine. If it was necessary to choose the Chef
Client installer instead, the Chef and Ruby installer will be located under C:\opscode\chef .
Either installer will automatically add all the correct directories for Chef and Ruby to the
System PATH .
Verify the Chef Development Kit/Chef Client Installer in Windows
Make sure that the Ruby scripting engine in either C:\opscode\chefdk\embedded\bin or
C:\opscode\chef\embedded\bin is being used with this PATH change, depending on whether
you installed the Chef Development Kit or the Chef Client, respectively. Make sure you re-
start your command prompt after the installation and run the appropriate commands to verify.
Chef Development Kit installation—Windows Command Prompt:
> where ruby
C:\opscode\chefdk\embedded\bin\ruby.exe
Chef Development Kit installation—Windows PowerShell:
PS> (get-command ruby).path
C:\opscode\chefdk\embedded\bin\ruby.exe
Chef Client installation—Windows Command Prompt:
> where ruby
C:\opscode\chef\embedded\bin\ruby.exe
Chef Client installation—Windows PowerShell:
PS> (get-command ruby).path
C:\opscode\chef\embedded\bin\ruby.exe
If the output is not C:\opscode\chefdk\embedded\bin\ruby.exe or
C:\opscode\chef\embedded\bin\ruby.exe , double-check that you completed the preced-
ing steps correctly.
