Hmmm great.

I am using centos - 5.5, and the cookbook recipe should look like,

yum_package "httpd" do
     action: install
end

It will take long time to installation?

If yes, Is there any way ?

Ok, thanks! can you please let me know that what is the use of cookbook metadata.json and runlist ie file.json?

That's the cookbook metadata, not run_list!

Create a JSON file with required run_list as in examples on wiki - http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Setting+the+run_list+in+JSON+during+run+time

Show your "meatadata.json" file 

Is this "metadata.json" from cookbook? Then you are doing it wrong - http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Setting+the+run_list+in+JSON+during+run+time

Hi Team,

I created the cookbook and node with run list.
I am getting error when i ran the following command,
chef-solo -c /etc/chef/solo.rb -j metadata.json

ArgumentError: Initializing a Chef::RunList::RunListItem from a hash requires
that it have a 'type' and 'name' key

Please let me know that what i missed here?

Regards,
Madhavan R
