(Doc) Chef 10.16.4 install fails w/ Ruby 2.2.2 due to json gem

No target file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the repository's Chef installation documentation and compare it with the reported Ruby 2.2.2/json-1.6.1 failure and workaround; done means the exact version combination, failure, and environment-specific workaround are documented.

Some users attempting to install this exact version combination may run into a problem where the json gem is failing to build. For example:

gem install chef --version="10.16.4"

Gem files will remain installed in /home/jaustinhughey/.rbenv/versions/2.2.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/json-1.6.1 for inspection.

In my case I was able to fix this with:

rbenv install 2.1.6
rbenv global 2.1.6
gem install bundler json
rbenv rehash
gem install chef --version="10.16.4"

Note, of course, I'm using rbenv. Modify those commands to suit your Ruby environment manager of choice, or don't forget sudo if you're rolling raw.
