berks: Install cookbook dependencies into a local repo.
$ berks install
try on your machine
The berks install command is used in conjunction with Berkshelf, a tool for managing cookbooks in a Chef infrastructure.
When you run berks install, it looks for a Berksfile in the current directory, which contains a list of cookbooks and their dependencies. It resolves the dependencies specified in the Berksfile and installs the necessary cookbooks to a directory called berks-cookbooks.
This command is typically used after updating the Berksfile to ensure that all the necessary cookbooks are available locally. It can also be useful when setting up a new development environment or when other team members need to access the same set of cookbooks.
