ChefDK是Chef Development Kit的縮寫，它幾乎用於所有的平台，包括基於Debian發行版、Ubuntu、RedHat、CentOS、Mac OS X和Windows。當前ChefDK的穩定版本是0.11.2，對於基於RHEL的系統，它可用於版本 6 和 7(如： CentOS 6 和 CentOS 7)，RPM版本只有64位版本。
使用以下命令下載ChefDK
在CentOS 7上
cd ~wget https://packages.chef.io/stable/el/7/chefdk-0.11.2-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
在CentOS 6上
cd ~wget https://packages.chef.io/stable/el/6/chefdk-0.11.2-1.el6.x86_64.rpm安裝 ChefDK
使用RPM安裝剛剛下載的ChefDK
# rpm -ivh chefdk-0.11.2-1.el7.x86_64.rpm Preparing... ################################# [100%]Updating / installing... 1:chefdk-0.11.2-1.el7 ################################# [100%]Thank you for installing Chef Development Kit!
ChefDK默認安裝到/opt/chefdk目錄下，如下所示
# ls -l /opt/chefdk/drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Mar 3 13:50 bindrwxr-xr-x. 7 root root 62 Mar 3 13:50 embedded-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 13249 Feb 22 14:26 version-manifest.json-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 8233 Feb 22 14:26 version-manifest.txt驗證ChefDK的安裝
執行chef verify，驗證所有來自ChefDK的不同組件，確保他們都工作正常，沒有任何問題
# chef verifyRunning verification for component 'berkshelf'Running verification for component 'test-kitchen'Running verification for component 'tk-policyfile-provisioner'Running verification for component 'chef-client'Running verification for component 'chef-dk'Running verification for component 'chef-provisioning'Running verification for component 'chefspec'Running verification for component 'generated-cookbooks-pass-chefspec'Running verification for component 'rubocop'Running verification for component 'fauxhai'Running verification for component 'knife-spork'Running verification for component 'kitchen-vagrant'Running verification for component 'package installation'Running verification for component 'openssl'Running verification for component 'inspec'.......---------------------------------------------Verification of component 'test-kitchen' succeeded.Verification of component 'chef-dk' succeeded.Verification of component 'chefspec' succeeded.Verification of component 'rubocop' succeeded.Verification of component 'knife-spork' succeeded.Verification of component 'openssl' succeeded.Verification of component 'berkshelf' succeeded.Verification of component 'chef-client' succeeded.Verification of component 'fauxhai' succeeded.Verification of component 'inspec' succeeded.Verification of component 'tk-policyfile-provisioner' succeeded.Verification of component 'kitchen-vagrant' succeeded.Verification of component 'chef-provisioning' succeeded.Verification of component 'package installation' succeeded.Verification of component 'generated-cookbooks-pass-chefspec' succeeded.
下面是chef verify失敗的案例。注意：Ruby在Chef中是必須的，它被嵌入在了ChefDK中。
# chef verify../opt/chefdk/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/mixlib-shellout-2.2.6/lib/mixlib/shellout.rb:289:in `invalid!': Expected process to exit with [0], but received '1' (Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed)---- Begin output of /usr/bin/ohai -v ----STDOUT: STDERR: /opt/chefdk/embedded/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/dependency.rb:319:in `to_specs': Could not find 'chef-config' (= 12.8.0) - did find: [chef-config-12.7.2] (Gem::LoadError)
以上錯誤信息顯示：“Could not find ‘chef-config’ (= 12.8.0) – did find: [chef-config-12.7.2] (Gem::LoadError)”，在安裝的ChefDK中chef-config的版本是12.7.2的舊版本，在手動安裝chef-confg 12.8.0版本後再執行chef verify，顯示驗證成功。
驗證ChefDK版本執行 chef -version命令，顯示ChefDK的版本號以及所有附帶組件
# chef --versionChef Development Kit Version: 0.11.2chef-client version: 12.7.2berks version: 4.2.0kitchen version: 1.5.0設置Chef 環境變量
設置Chef相關的環境變量，如：GEM_ROOT GEM_HOME GEM_PATH。
export GEM_ROOT="/opt/chefdk/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0"export GEM_HOME="/root/.chefdk/gem/ruby/2.1.0"export GEM_PATH="/root/.chefdk/gem/ruby/2.1.0:/opt/chefdk/embedded/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0"
此外，如果你的系統上已經安裝了ruby，你需要更新與ruby相關的PATH變量，如下所示
export PATH="/opt/chefdk/bin:/root/.chefdk/gem/ruby/2.1.0/bin:/opt/chefdk/embedded/bin:/opt/chefdk/bin:/root/.chefdk/gem/ruby/2.1.0/bin:/opt/chefdk/embedded/bin:/opt/chefdk/bin:/root/.chefdk/gem/ruby/2.1.0/bin:/opt/chefdk/embedded/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin"
顯示所有Chef設置的環境變量。
chef shell-init bash
想要快速設置這些環境變量，可以將其添加到bash_profile文件中，如下所示。
echo 'eval "$(chef shell-init bash)"' >> ~/.bash_profile訪問Chef的Firewalld規則
為了訪問Chef服務器上的Chef Manage GUI，添加以下firewalld規則，開放Chef服務器上的相應端口。
firewall-cmd --direct --add-rule ipv4 \filter INPUT_direct 0 -i eth0 -p tcp \ --dport 443 -j ACCEPTfirewall-cmd --direct --add-rule ipv4 \filter INPUT_direct 0 -i eth0 -p tcp \ --dport 80 -j ACCEPTfirewall-cmd --direct --add-rule ipv4 \filter INPUT_direct 0 -i eth0 -p tcp \ --dport 9683 -j ACCEPTfirewall-cmd --reload從Chef Manage GUI下載Starter Kit
登錄到Chef Manage GUI，單擊“Administration”選項，從列表中選擇“organization”。此例中，“organization”為“example”，選中organization之後，點擊左側菜單中的“Starter Kit”。
按下“Download（下載）”按鈕之後，會跳出一個警告信息，按下“Proceed”，它會將chef-starter.zip文件下載到本地機器。
解壓縮 Starter Kit將chef-starter.zip文件傳輸到Chef工作站並解壓到root的home目錄下
# cd ~# unzip chef-starter.zip Archive: chef-starter.zip creating: chef-repo/cookbooks/ creating: chef-repo/cookbooks/starter/ creating: chef-repo/cookbooks/starter/templates/ creating: chef-repo/cookbooks/starter/templates/default/ inflating: chef-repo/cookbooks/starter/templates/default/sample.erb creating: chef-repo/cookbooks/starter/files/ creating: chef-repo/cookbooks/starter/files/default/ inflating: chef-repo/cookbooks/starter/files/default/sample.txt creating: chef-repo/cookbooks/starter/recipes/ inflating: chef-repo/cookbooks/starter/recipes/default.rb creating: chef-repo/cookbooks/starter/attributes/ inflating: chef-repo/cookbooks/starter/attributes/default.rb inflating: chef-repo/cookbooks/starter/metadata.rb inflating: chef-repo/cookbooks/chefignore inflating: chef-repo/README.md inflating: chef-repo/.gitignore creating: chef-repo/.chef/ creating: chef-repo/roles/ inflating: chef-repo/.chef/knife.rb inflating: chef-repo/roles/starter.rb inflating: chef-repo/.chef/ramesh.pem inflating: chef-repo/.chef/example-validator.pem
如果你手動創建了chef-repo文件夾，那你就需要手動創建上述的子目錄，復制knife.rb文件、organization-validator.pem文件（如：example-validator.pem）、username.pem文件（如：ramesh.pem）到上面顯示的目錄中。
Chef服務器的SSL證書在這個階段如果執行knife client list會得到以下錯誤信息
# cd ~/chef-repo# knife client listERROR: SSL Validation failure connecting to host: centos.example.com - SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failedERROR: Could not establish a secure connection to the server.Use `knife ssl check` to troubleshoot your SSL configuration.If your Chef Server uses a self-signed certificate, you can use`knife ssl fetch` to make knife trust the server's certificates.Original Exception: OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: SSL Error connecting to https://centos.example.com/organizations/example/clients - SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=error: certificate verify failed
證書驗證失敗，因為我們沒有從Chef服務器下載SSL證書，此時可以執行以下“knife ssl fetch”。
# cd ~/chef-repo# knife ssl fetchWARNING: Certificates from centos.example.com will be fetched and placed in your trusted_certdirectory (/root/chef-repo/.chef/trusted_certs).Knife has no means to verify these are the correct certificates. You shouldverify the authenticity of these certificates after downloading.
證書將會下載到以下truster_certs目錄中
# ls -l /root/chef-repo/.chef/trusted_certs-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1379 Mar 20 20:17 centos_example_com.crt# cat /root/chef-repo/.chef/trusted_certs/centos_example_com.crt -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----MIIDzDCCArSgAwIBAgIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQsFADBRMQswCQYDVQQGEwJVUzEQMA4GA1UECgwHWW91Q29ycDETMBEGA1UECwwKT3BlcmF0aW9uczEbMBkGA1UEAwwSZXJhdGlvbnMxGzAZBgNVBAMMEmNlbnRvcy5leGFtcGxlLmNvbTCCASIwDQYJKoZI....WLyr2ORLMcck/OGsubabO/koMNTqhl2JJPECNiDJh06MeZ/2+BOwGZSpXDbw+vFENJAsLfsTzihGWZ58einMFA==-----END CERTIFICATE-----Chef工作站的最終確認
如果Chef工作站工作正常，當你執行“knife client list”時，它會顯示所有連接工作站的客戶端。由於我們剛剛安裝它，因此只能看到剛剛我們創建的組織（organization）
# cd ~/chef-repo# knife client listexample-validator
如果你現有的Chef工作站機器上已經有5個服務器連接到它了，你會看到以下信息
# knife client listexample-validatornode1node2node3node4node5
