Chef's Ruby gem server

Chef’s Ruby gem server distributes Chef’s commercial and licensed Ruby gems. The server is hosted at https://rubygems.chef.io/.

Add Chef’s gem server as a source

Before you begin, you will need your valid Progress Chef license key.

• Add Chef’s Ruby gem server using gem source --add:

  gem sources --add https://v1:<LICENSE_KEY>@rubygems.chef.io
  

  It returns a message that rubygems.chef.io has been added a gem source.

Install a Ruby gem

1. Optional: Verify that you’ve added Chef’s Ruby gem server as a source:

   gem sources -l
   

   This returns a list of Ruby gem servers that should include rubygems.chef.io:

   *** CURRENT SOURCES ***
   
   https://rubygems.org/
   https://v1:<LICENSE_KEY>@rubygems.chef.io
   

2. Install a gem:

   gem install <GEM>
   

   This installs the gem and displays a success message.

   For testing purposes, you can try installing chef-test or ‘inspec-test’ gem to verify that you can install from Chef’s gem server:

   gem install chef-test-0.1.0.gem
