Requirements

Chef

Tested on 0.10.2 and 0.10.4 but newer and older version should work just fine.
File an issue if this isn't the case.

Platform

The following platforms have been tested with this cookbook, meaning that the
recipes run on these platforms without error:

• ubuntu

Please report any additional platforms so they can be added.

Cookbooks

This cookbook depends on the following external cookbooks:

• java (Opscode)

Installation

Depending on the situation and use case there are several ways to install
this cookbook. All the methods listed below assume a tagged version release
is the target, but omit the tags to get the head of development. A valid
Chef repository structure like the Opscode repo is also assumed.

From the Opscode Community Platform

To install this cookbook from the Opscode platform, use the knife command:

knife cookbook site install openoffice

Using Librarian

The Librarian gem aims to be Bundler for your Chef cookbooks.
Include a reference to the cookbook in a Cheffile and run
librarian-chef install. To install with Librarian:

gem install librarian
cd chef-repo
librarian-chef init
cat >> Cheffile < 'git://github.com/fnichol/chef-openoffice.git', :ref => 'v0.2.0'
END_OF_CHEFFILE
librarian-chef install

Using knife-github-cookbooks

The knife-github-cookbooks gem is a plugin for knife that supports
installing cookbooks directly from a GitHub repository. To install with the
plugin:

gem install knife-github-cookbooks
cd chef-repo
knife cookbook github install fnichol/chef-openoffice/v0.2.0

As a Git Submodule

A common practice (which is getting dated) is to add cookbooks as Git
submodules. This is accomplishes like so:

cd chef-repo
git submodule add git://github.com/fnichol/chef-openoffice.git cookbooks/openoffice
git submodule init && git submodule update

Note: the head of development will be linked here, not a tagged release.

As a Tarball

If the cookbook needs to downloaded temporarily just to be uploaded to a Chef
Server or Opscode Hosted Chef, then a tarball installation might fit the bill:

cd chef-repo/cookbooks
curl -Ls https://github.com/fnichol/chef-openoffice/tarball/v0.2.0 | tar xfz - && \
  mv fnichol-chef-openoffice-* openoffice

Usage

Simply include recipe[openoffice::headless] to install OpenOffice headlessly
and include recipe[openoffice::apps] to install the OpenOffice application components.

Recipes

headless
