Chef-client is available for various OS, windows, Linux, Aix, Mac etc.
However the chef-server is only available for linux.
To clear which module you need to install & where, just go through the terminology of chef at chef.io For workstation, you need to install chefDK
For node, you need to install chefclient
For chef server, you need to install chefserver - not available for windows
Note: Always use the stable and latest version of the above-mentioned components.Hope this helps.
