Problems when trying to install chef from the head of github

Hi folks,

Hope that this does not disturb your vacations. :slight_smile:

I’m trying to install chef from the head of github on ubuntu 9.10, following
the wiki: http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Installing+Chef+from+HEAD.
But I meet the problems when trying to following command:

cd ~/chef
sudo gem install merb-core
rake install

I got the following error:

dikang@dikang-desktop:~/temp/chef$ rake install

Thanks for your information AJ.

I just tried another document :
http://likens.us/articles/2009/12/14/chef-8-down-and-dirty-in-screen/ to
install the chef 0.8.

It seems good until I try to open the http://localhost:4000 in the browser,
I meet the error:

Unauthorized 401 Failed to authenticate!
what does this mean?

And as said in the doc, where should I configure the following information?

  1. Now configure knife to work with the webui key and you should be solid.

OPSCODE_USER="chef-webui";export OPSCODE_USER
OPSCODE_KEY="/etc/chef/webui.pem";export OPSCODE_KEY

Thanks
