How did you originally install Chef? Did you use rubygems or an Omnibus
package?

What ruby is saying is that you haven't installed Chef for Ruby 2.0 yet.
The gems for Ruby 2.0.0 are going to be segregated from the Ruby 1.9 gems.
If you've installed via Rubygems before you can simply run a gem install chef to get going again.

I'd strongly recommend, however, that you install Chef from an Omnibus
package: www.opscode.com/chef/install

Hi David,

It looks like you've got Chef installed via Omnibus, so let's try to get to
the bottom of why knife is trying to run from Rubygems and not the embedded
knife. Can you post the output of the following commands?

  • which knife
  • gem which knife
  • /opt/chef/embedded/bin/knife --version

Cheers!

Running gem install chef fixed the problem. Thanks
