Chef Workstation ships with a toolbar application, the Chef Workstation App.
To run this application some additional dependencies must be installed.
Using your platform's package manager to install the 'electron' package is
the easiest way to meet the dependency requirements.
You can then launch the App by running 'chef-workstation-app'.
The App will then be available in the system tray.
Thank you for installing Chef Workstation!
You can find some tips on getting started at https://docs.chef.io/workstation/getting_started/
