  • Welcome to stackoverflow. Usually, you should show that you have at least tried something already and describe what the actual problem is. – StephenKing Oct 02 '15 at 07:07
  • Welcome to SO. I'd recommend following one of the guides, and coming here with questions. There are many great resources out there; maybe start with https://learn.chef.io/ and https://github.com/agileorbit-cookbooks/java#usage – Martin Oct 02 '15 at 11:37

There is a cookbook for this, it is called the java cookbook.

You should have specified, in which system you want to install JDK - this varies on unix and Windows systems.

First of all, you can use cookbook java, which can be found here.

Additionaly, if you don't want to use any cookbooks, just install it through Chef resource.

In example, installing JDK on windows (requires windows cookbook):

windows_package 'Java SE Development Kit 7 Update 79'  do
        source              src
        action              :install
        installer_type      :custom
        options             '/v\"/qn INSTALLDIR=\\\"C:\\Java\\\"\"'
end

This will install JDK 7.79 in C:/Java directory.

Remember, that name of resource should be the same as package name in system - you can check them in Control Panel (Uninstalling programs).

If you want more informations about installing JDK silently, you can also check this question.

Cheers.

  • Ok, first of all, in the link of this cookbook you have examples on the bottom of page. Just do as they say - copy this to your recipe and run chef. I do not know if you are asking me `how to run Chef` or just `how to use this cookbook in my recipe`? – deem Oct 02 '15 at 07:30
  • Thanks.. I have to follow below steps? On My Workstation:- 1.knife cookbook create java 2. In /recipe/default.rb below code # install jdk6 from Oracle java_ark "jdk" do url 'http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u29-b11/jdk-6u29-linux-x64.bin' checksum 'a8603fa62045ce2164b26f7c04859cd548ffe0e33bfc979d9fa73df42e3b3365' app_home '/usr/local/java/default' bin_cmds ["java", "javac"] action :install end 3. Save and exit. 4. Add recipe to node 5. Run Chef-client on Node Is this rite? – Chetan Patangade Oct 02 '15 at 07:38
  • You have to write your own cookbook and add dependency to their cookbook (of course download it and paste it to `cookbooks` directory). Then, in your recipe, just paste their resource (for example `java_ark "jdk" do`, depends on what type of JDK you want to install) and run Chef with your cookbook. You can read their documentation for more usage info - or just search in stackoverflow/Google - this cookbook is rather popular and have many results in searching. – deem Oct 02 '15 at 07:41
  • Yeah, your steps are (more or less) logical, too. But make sure this URL for JDK .exe is valid - if not, you should change it ;) – deem Oct 02 '15 at 07:42
