How do I set up omnibus builder environment on vagrant centos box using chef?

Question

I need an omnibus builder box for building a python cli package.

I would like to use this cookbook , on this vagrantbox

I am running this as root since the omnibus installer needs to check something using data in /opt

my vagrantfile looks like this:

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
  config.vm.box = "centos65opscode"
  # config.vm.provision "chef_solo" do |chef|
  #   chef.add_recipe "omnibus"
  # end
  config.librarian_chef.cheffile_dir = "chef"
  config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
    chef.cookbooks_path = "chef/cookbooks"
    chef.add_recipe "omnibus"
  end
end

Since the Librarian chef plugin for vagrant doesn't seem to be doing anything I added all the dependencies manually:

I am getting this error:

Have you tried to use vagrant chef provisioning

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.provision "chef_solo" do |chef|
    chef.add_recipe "omnibus"
  end
end

and add the github omnibus project in a cookbooks directory like

.
|-- Vagrantfile
|-- cookbooks
|   |-- omnibus
|       |-- recipes
|           |-- default.rb
|       |-- ...
