I want to see manual for chef with command man knife-cookbook.
But it looks like manuals are not installed by default install gem install chef.
I found the man page of knife cookbook.
http://manned.org/knife-cookbook/061616e2
How can I install these manual pages to my local environments? Normally documents are automatically installed along with software itself. I never installed manual separately.
I'm using OS X 10.9.2.
You can use the -w switch to man to see where man pages are being loaded from on disk.
$ man -w lsof
/usr/share/man/man8/lsof.8.gz
So you could locate man pages for software that's similar to this and add the man page you want locally on the system to this same directory.
I did also dig this up, titled: Chef Gem Man Pages, which shows man pages being installed via gem instead for chef.
$ sudo gem install gem-man
Password:

$ gem man chef
View which manual?
1. chef-indexer(1)
2. chef-server-webui(1)
3. chef-server(1)
4. chef-solr-indexer(1)
5. chef-solr(1)
6. chef-client(8)
7. chef-solo(8)
8. chef-solr-rebuild(8)
9. knife(8)
10. shef(8)
> 9
This looks like a better approach to me if I understand what you want.
man. I could use gem man in CentOS. In OS X gem man chef gives me only No manual entry for chef though, it's ok for me if I know where I can see the manual.
