[chef] Re: rvm with chef[-solo] system/user-wide for multiple applications

[Sascha Bates < >]

The best Chef-RVM cookbook I've found is Fletcher Nichol's: 
https://github.com/fnichol/chef-rvm

It's a bit tricky on OSX because of the compiler, but if you're doing it 
on Linux it should be fairly straightforward.

There's *a lot* of documentation but generally you can get away with 
just adding override attributes for the existing recipes.
