The following steps will guide you through getting Chef installed, setting up a repository and configuring your systems with cookbooks. You'll probably want to open each page in a new tab so you don't have to keep coming back here.
Install Chef
Start with Installation - you can't use Chef unless you have it installed!
Configuring Chef Server and Clients
Once Chef is installed, read how we use Chef to configure itself.
Create a Chef Repository
Once you have Chef installed, you should create a new Chef Repository. This is where you will keep all your Cookbooks and other configuration bits for your infrastructure.
Start Writing Cookbooks
Now that Chef is installed and you have a repository ready to store your Cookbooks, it's time to start writing them. The Cookbook Quick Start guide will walk you through creating your first Cookbook and configuring a Node.
Next Steps
When you are through with that, it's time to start Cooking with Chef.
