Chef-solo: how can I install a package mailutils in ubuntu?

Question

I want to install the command line mail in my ubuntu box in Virtual box.

The command line will be sudo apt-get install mailutils.

What is the best to achieve the same via chef-solo? I don't think there is a formula called mailutils.

Answer 1

I think you may use simple recipe like this:

it have to be located in your cookbook recipes/default.rb file

package 'mailutils' do
  action :install
end
