[chef-dev] Re: Re: How to install chef 0.10.10 on windows server 2008

[Paul Morton - BIA < >]

Chef does not have any native code so it should be pretty easy


https://github.com/opscode/chef.git
gem install rake
cd chef/chef
rake gem
gem install pkg/chef-0.10.9.gem 

I believe that 0.10.9 will become 0.10.10 as chef approaches release.
