Install Unix Tools for Windows
You'll need to install Unix-related tools in Windows for Test Kitchen. Test Kitchen requires
the Secure Shell
ssh
to log in to your Enterprise Linux VM. The most painless way to install
ssh
is to install the Minimalist GNU for Windows (MinGW) tools that come bundled with
Git for Windows. If you use Chef, you'll likely wind up using Git source control in some
fashion as well.
Visit
git-scm.com
and refer to the
git-scm.com
site for more information on installing Git for
Windows.
Make sure you choose
Run Git and included Unix tools from the Windows Command Prompt
when you see the
Adjusting your PATH environment
screen as shown in
Figure 2-13
. Except
for this screen, feel free to choose the installation defaults if you like.
