Hi I am trying to install influxdb cookbook on centos box and got this error. I checked the code and property method has not been defined anywhere.

NoMethodError
-------------
undefined method `property' for #<Class:0x0000000407b828>

Cookbook Trace:
---------------
  /var/chef/cache/cookbooks/influxdb/resources/admin.rb:22:in `class_from_file'

What chef client version you use?
I think you need chef 12.X

Yeah. Unfortunately we are still using chef 11.18. And node is having centos. I tried older commits but I guess there was no rhel platform support till October. Could you suggest any workaround for supporting older version of Chef

Thanks for reaching out @rjangid1! This cookbook on master currently requires chef-client 12.5+. (https://www.chef.io/blog/2015/10/08/chef-client-12-5-released/). It looks like older tagged versions of the cookbook have an LWRP which may solve your issue: https://github.com/bdangit/chef-influxdb/tree/2.4.0. We have a few issues regarding supporting older clients, so I'm going to close this one.
