King of version control. I'm guessing that if you're reading this, you already have git installed (or can work out how to do it for your OS of choice).
The Ruby Version Manager makes it easy to switch between Ruby versions:
bash -s stable < <(curl -s https://raw.github.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm-installer)
rvm default 1.9.2
Vagrant is a very handy wrapper around VirtualBox (you'll need to install VirtualBox first if you don't already have it, I can't script this bit because Oracle)
gem install vagrant
Configuration-management World Heavyweight Champion. (Presumably) the reason you're reading this.
gem install chef
We'll be installing other chef-related gems, but we'll get to those later.
git clone git://github.com/pikesley/learn-yourself-some-chef.git
Now we can move onto building the server.
