require_chef_omnibus

Determines whether or not a Chef Omnibus package will be installed. There are several different behaviors available:

• true - the latest release will be installed. Subsequent converges will skip re-installing if chef is present.
• latest - the latest release will be installed. Subsequent converges will always re-install even if chef is present.
• <VERSION_STRING> (ex: 10.24.0) - the desired version string will be passed the install.sh script. Subsequent converges will skip if the installed version and the desired version match.
• false or nil - no chef is installed.

The default value is unset, or nil. Should be false if your AIX system has no internet access.
