Mysql2 Chef Gem Installer Cookbook

mysql2_chef_gem is a library cookbook that provides an LWRP for use in recipes. It provides a wrapper around chef_gem called mysql2_chef_gem that eases the installation process, collecting the prerequisites and side-stepping the compilation phase arms race.

• Chef 11 or higher
• Ruby 1.9 (preferably from the Chef full-stack installer)
