Manage a Cookbook or an Application's Cookbook dependencies
Berkshelf is now included as part of the Chef-DK. This is fastest, easiest, and the recommended installation method for getting up and running with Berkshelf.
note: You may need to uninstall the Berkshelf gem especially if you are using a Ruby version manager you may need to uninstall all Berkshelf gems from each Ruby installation.
If you are a developer or you prefer to install from Rubygems, we've got you covered.
Add Berkshelf to your repository's Gemfile:
gem 'berkshelf'Or run it as a standalone:
$ gem install berkshelf
See berkshelf.com for up-to-date usage instructions.
Berkshelf is tested on Ruby 1.9.3, 2.0, and 2.1.
Ruby 1.9 mode is required on all interpreters.
Ruby 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 are not officially supported. If you encounter problems, please upgrade to Ruby 2.0 or 1.9.3.
Berkshelf will search in specific locations for a configuration file. In order:
$PWD/.berkshelf/config.json
~/.berkshelf/config.json
You are encouraged to keep project-specific configuration in the $PWD/.berkshelf directory. A default configuration file is generated for you, but you can update the values to suit your needs.
Please see Plugins page for more information.
