Dear chef friends:
I am new to chef and chef automate. I was following this link to learn chef automate at https://learn.chef.io/modules/try-chef-automate#/, however, when I ran the second step “vagrant up” I got the following error:
default: Error: Preflight check failed
default: Error: PreflightError: One or more preflight checks failed: To run deploy without pre-flight, pas s --skip-preflight: Preflight check failed
The SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status. Vagrant
assumes that this means the command failed. The output for this command
should be in the log above. Please read the output to determine what
went wrong.
I can see the chef_automate virtual machine is already running and I can log into it. But not sure if chef was installed correctly. How could I trouble shoot this error. thanks.
Jason

I am unable to repro this issue so I would check that you have connectivity to packages.chef.io (it should redirect to downloads). Perhaps a firewall or proxy issue?
thank you for the reply, you are right, my box doesn't have internet access at that moment. now it is working now.
