[chef] Re: Re: Re: Knife Bootstrap for installing anf configuring chef client

[Jeremiah Snapp < >]

Are you running knife on the same machine you installed chef server?

Try running "chef-client -v". If that also says command not found then you don't have chef-client or it's related commands knife, chef-solo, ohai installed.  If you want to install chef-client in a similar manner as you did chef-server then do the following.

rpm -Uvh http://rbel.frameos.org/rbel6 yum install -y ruby rubygem-chef ntp

But if it were up to me I would not use the bootstrap instructions found at

I would use the standard install method provided by Opscode here.

This will install the latest version of chef-client (including knife) on just about any operating system. And it will use the preferred omnibus style install rather than a ruby gems style.
