omnibus will have ruby, gem, bundler + chef-(shell/solo/apply/client) , does that constitute your environment?

chefdk will add berks, chefspec, test-kitchen etc on top of it,

Couple of questions:
- Are there omnibus packages for ubuntu 14.04? (If yes can I have the path please)
- Does the omnibus packages pull in the complete environment? (One of the advantages of the chef-dk install is that it has the complete ruby environment and tooling bundled)

Thanks,

For your non-workstation systems, the Omnibus chef-client packages should be sufficient; ChefDK packages in extra testing and workflow tools that are generally more relevant on your workstation (though you may find them useful for build nodes if you run cookbooks through a Ci pipeline of some sort).

The workstation side would mostly come into play if you create new systems by running a bootstrap process from the command line on your workstation (e.g., `knife bootstrap` or similar). In that case, you’d need to either customize the bootstrap script to install the foreman stuff before it runs `chef-client`, or you could use Chef to install it. Downside of the second option is that the foreman integration probably wouldn’t work until `chef-client` runs for a second time.
