You need a chef-server already set up on another machine. You
probably don't have a chef-server set up. Installing one on
Debian is a problem...

The problem is that the company that was developing chef was
purchased by a company which is rather hostile to open source,
and - as far as I can tell - the group which was planning on
forking chef and producing cinc (cinc is not chef) has run into
trouble.

Although I like chef quite a bit, I cannot recommend it to anyone who
is starting to use an open source configuration automation system at
this time. Existing users may or may not be comfortable
continuing on with old chef-server versions until cinc is ready.

Viable alternatives include puppet, salt, ansible, bcfg2,
cfengine3, and probably many others.
