Install Chef Test Kitchen Enterprise

Chef Test Kitchen Enterprise is a component of Chef Workstation. However, you can also install it as a standalone application or install a different version than the one bundled with Workstation.

Supported platforms

Chef Test Kitchen Enterprise is supported on Linux x86-64 systems.

Install

If you haven’t already installed Chef Habitat, follow these steps to install and set it up. For more information, see the Chef Habitat install documentation.

  1. Download and install Chef Habitat:

    curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/habitat-sh/habitat/main/components/hab/install.sh | sudo bash -s -- -c stable
    
  2. Verify Chef Habitat is installed.

    hab --version
    

    Chef Habitat returns the installed version.

  3. Set up Chef Habitat:

    hab cli setup
    

    Follow the prompts in the Habitat CLI. We recommend the following settings for running Test Kitchen Enterprise:

    • Connect to an on-premises Builder instance? [yes/No/quit] No
    • Set up a default origin? [Yes/no/quit] No
    • Set up a default Builder personal access token? [yes/No/quit] No
    • Set up a default Habitat Supervisor control gateway secret? [yes/No/quit] No
  4. Use Chef Habitat to install the Chef Test Kitchen Enterprise package:

    sudo hab pkg install --binlink --force chef/chef-test-kitchen-enterprise --channel unstable
    

    Chef Habitat downloads and installs Chef Test Kitchen Enterprise, it’s components, and the chef-cli and kitchen CLI tools.

  5. Verify these tools are installed:

    chef-cli --version
    kitchen --version
    

    You can also verify that the Test Kitchen Enterprise package is installed in /hab/pkgs/chef/chef-test-kitchen-enterprise/1.0.5.

Next steps

After you’ve installed Chef Test Kitchen Enterprise, add your Progress Chef license.
