You can\u00a0automate the installation and configuration of ArcGIS 10.3.1 for Server using a Chef Cookbook available on the Esri GitHub<\/a> repository or Chef Supermarket<\/a>. Download and run the tool to install and configure multiple GIS servers in a single site or install a full web GIS with the GIS server, Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Web Adaptor, and ArcGIS Data Store on a machine, and configure them to work together.<\/p>\n

The cookbook does not require any changes; you can run it as-is and launch a site. But if you are experienced with Chef and want to customize the Cookbook before running it, you can do that too.<\/p>\n

For more information on what the Cookbook does and how to use it, see Get Started with ArcGIS Cookbook<\/a> and the ArcGIS Cookbook information on Esri
