Ditto what he said, but check out what we do in the AWS cookbook.

Granted this is a library, so adapt as needed.

Hello,

I am working on implementing COOK-847, and have encountered a

chicken-and-egg problem. I need to install the certificate_authority

gem; normally I would simply call chef_gem for something like this.

However, since the default recipe is likely to be executed after the

provider I am not able to do this. I also am unable to find a standard

Mixin for chef_gem in Chef 11.x.

What is the correct way to install a gem for Chef to use so I can

require it in my provider?
