[chef] portable chef client

[Naresh < >]

Hi everybody,

We are trying to use chef-solo to install our application on linux. We plan to distribute chef (chef-client install folder) along with our application files and when user runs an install script, chef-solo will be invoked. End-user need not know that we are using chef-solo. I have copied chef folder on a different machine and tried to run a simple recipe with no success. 

Have any of you tried such thing? Is there a portable chef-client?
