Install Chef Infra Client

Use either a native installer or the Chef Infra Client migration tool to install or upgrade Chef Infra Client.

Supported platforms

The migration tool and native installers can install and upgrade Chef Infra Client on:

  • Linux x86-64
  • Windows x86-64

Native installers

The Chef Infra Client native installers provide an efficient way to install Chef Infra Client on Debian and RPM-based distributions. You can download and install the pre-built .msi, .deb, or .rpm packages using your existing package management tools, simplifying the deployment process for managing system configurations.

Migration tool

The Chef Infra Client migration tool (chef-migrate) allows you to install or upgrade Chef Infra Client to the latest version in both online and air-gapped environments.

Key functions:

  • Fresh installation: Install Chef Infra Client 19 RC3
  • Side-by-side installation: Install Chef Infra Client 19 RC3 and remove or keep the previous Infra Client version. If you keep the previous version in side-by-side mode, the path to the most recent version takes precedence
  • Omnibus upgrade: Upgrade from Omnibus-based Chef Infra Client 17.x or 18.x versions
  • Habitat upgrade: Upgrade from Habitat-packaged Chef Infra Client 19 RC releases
