[chef] Re: Please Help , facing issues while installing sqlplus using chef

[Kevin Karwaski < >]

Hi Goutam,

You should consider testing your cookbooks locally against a virtual
machine using Vagrant:

http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Vagrant

This will make your development and testing efforts much easier. There
are other tools (such as Librarian and Berkshelf) that will also make
things easier but for the sake of simplicity, I would recommend
starting off with Vagrant and the chef-solo provisioner:

http://vagrantup.com/v1/docs/provisioners/chef_solo.html

Then move on to chef-server. Hope this helps!

-K.
