This might be a simple question – I am trying to install a cookbook (gitlab)
I cloned the cookbook into a folder on my local drive and ran
knife cookbook upload gitlab.
Immediately it threw an error:
Cookbook gitlab depends on cookbook postgresql version >= 0.0.0
So I ran
knife cookbook site download postgresql
It had some dependencies, which had further dependencies, and now I'm at the point where I am installing cookbooks I know I won't need (dmg, windows, etc.)
I was under the impression that this stuff automatically resolved itself like aptitude or yum. Did I miss some crucial step of a cookbook dependency resolver?
Best Answer
Use
knife cookbook site install, which resolves dependencies.
