[chef] Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: [chef-client] how to create a client without root permissions

["Julian C. Dunn" < >]

install the Chef Client software, just like any other package. Once
the Chef Client software is installed you can proceed with the
directions on the documentation site as sent previously.
