This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Chef on Clear Linux Latest.
Before we proceed with the installation of Chef, we need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
ChefDK is a wrapper package that contains the essentials for installing and managing a Chef installation. To install ChefDK, run the following commands in your terminal:
sudo swupd bundle-add chefdk
Once ChefDK is installed, you can verify the installation by running the following command:
chef -v
This command should give you the version number of Chef that you installed.
Now that Chef is installed and verified, we need to configure it before we can use it. You can do this by running the following command:
chef shell-init bash
This command will add the necessary configuration details to your terminal profile, such as the location of Chef binaries.
Lastly, it is essential to setup your workstation for your Chef development environment.
chef verify
This command will check that your workstation is properly setup for writing and testing cookbooks.
In this tutorial, we have installed Chef on Clear Linux Latest and verified the installation. We have also configured Chef to ensure that it works correctly. With Chef installed and configured, you can now start managing your infrastructure with ease.
