# Chef Provisioner # Chef Provisioner
The `chef` provisioner invokes a Chef Client run on a remote resource after first installing The `chef` provisioner installs, configures and runs the Chef Client on a remote resource. The `chef` provisioner supports both `ssh`
and configuring Chef Client on the remote resource. The `chef` provisioner supports both `ssh`
and `winrm` type [connections](/docs/provisioners/connection.html). and `winrm` type [connections](/docs/provisioners/connection.html).
## Requirements ## Requirements
In order for the `chef` provisioner to work properly, you need either `cURL` (when using The `chef` provisioner has some prerequisites for specific connection types:
a `ssh` type connection) or `PowerShell 2.0` (when using a `winrm` type connection) to be
available on the target machine. * For `ssh` type connections, `cURL` must be available on the remote host.
* For `winrm` connections, `PowerShell 2.0` must be available on the remote host.
Without these prerequisites, your provisioning execution will fail.
