This might help you The Right Thing is to use the built-in resource types. Presuming you've set the version and arch variables appropriately: code :
remote_file "/tmp/vcider_#{version}_#{arch}.deb" do
source "https://my.vcider.com/m/downloads/vcider_#{version}_#{arch}.deb"
mode 0644
checksum "" # PUT THE SHA256 CHECKSUM HERE
end
dpkg_package "vcider" do
source "/tmp/vcider_#{version}_#{arch}.deb"
action :install
end

How to make chef check for RPM package and then install?

With these it helps I am currently using chef to install the RPM JDK package but the problem is that it does it every single time even if the package is already downloaded and installed. I tried finding an option for checking before installing but there wasn't any. Is there a way to get around this such that I can skip packages that are already installed? Debian's package management skips already installed packages by default, but RPM package manager doesn't seem to do that. , I know this is old, but I believe you want: code :
remote_file "your-remote-file" do
...
not_if "rpm -qa | grep -qx 'your-package'"
end

 Install apt package via Chef solo and Vagrant

I think the issue was by ths following , If you are using the system cookbook from Supermarket, you need to include the system::install_packages recipe and set the node['system']['packages']['install'] attribute: code :
Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"
config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
chef.cookbooks_path = ["chef/site-cookbooks", "cookbooks"]
chef.add_recipe "build-essential"
chef.add_recipe "apt"
chef.add_recipe "system::install_packages"
chef.json = {
"system" => {
"packages" => {
"install" => ["libgmp3-dev"]
}
}
}
end
end

I hope this helps you . I'd like to install net-tools on my centos/7 node. , Just use a package resource, like: code :

package 'net-tools'

package 'net-utils'
when 'other_os'
package 'other_package_name'
