Authentication & Authorization

okchef uses the auth handler from the requests-chef library at https://github.com/samstav/requests-chef

Install

Before installing okchef, see the current installation instructions for requests-chef: https://github.com/samstav/requests-chef#install

If you don’t feel like reading those, you can use --process-dependency-links (for now)

$ pip install -U --process-dependency-links okchef

Preferably, you’ve read the install for requests-chef, so this will work:

# -U ensures you get the latest version
$ pip install -U okchef
