Problem following quick start on windows

Chef Infra (archive)

Hi all,
I'm new to chef and I'm trying the quick start tutorial on windows.
Everything went fine in the first steps, however when trying to bootstrap
vagrant VM the following error shows up:

R:\chef\chef-repo>knife bootstrap localhost --ssh-user vagrant
--ssh-password vagrant --ssh-port 2222 --run-list
"recipe[apt],recipe[aliases],recipe[apache2]"
--sudo
C:/opscode/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/dependency.rb:247:in
to_specs': Could not find chef (>= 0) amongst [childprocess-0.3.9, erubis-2.7.0 , ffi-1.9.0-x86-mingw32, i18n-0.6.4, log4r-1.1.10, net-scp-1.1.2, net-ssh-2.6.8, vagrant-1.2.7] (Gem::LoadError) from C:/opscode/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/dependen cy.rb:256:in to_spec'
from
C:/opscode/chef/embedded/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:1231:
in gem' from C:/opscode/chef/bin/knife:22:in '

I've tried the suggestions from


with
no success.

I have no ruby background, so some sort of idiots tips are appreciated :slight_smile:

Just to update, I run "sudo gem install chef" and it worked!

I've tried the suggestions from

no success.
