Install Chef SDK

To setup the ChefDK development environment on MacOS+XCode or Linux, follow the steps detailed here:

1. Install Virtualbox
   • grab the extensions pack too, and launch it after installing the main package
2. Install Vagrant
3. After vagrant has been installed, run:
   • vagrant plugin install vagrant-berkshelf
   • vagrant plugin install vagrant-s3auth
4. Download the ChefDK
   • Just run/install the package
   • (Detailed guide, no need to follow, just for info)
5. After ChefDK is installed, in a new terminal window (so PATH changes are picked up), run the following (ignore the warning, as long as it says success at the end):
   • sudo /opt/chefdk/embedded/bin/gem install chef-provisioning-ssh
6. Install python package manager pip if needed. (Instructions here).
7. Run:
   • pip install awscli boto
8. If not running with a machine IAM role, configure boto which will also configure for awscli, packer, and other AWS enabled tools.
