I have configured 3 centos servers for chefworkstation, chefserver and chefclient. Now I want to install nginx using the cookbook. For that I have below script. 

package 'nginx' do
  action :install
end

This did not work because there were not enabled epel-release. Is there a way to enable epel repository before running above script?

Of course you can, but other people have done it before you so you can use their code.

From a simple google search I found the following official cookbook in Chef Supermarket: https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/yum-epel#readme

Definitely using the yum-epel official cookbook is a better solution, but for anyone who is looking for a fast fix, just install epel-release package:

package 'epel-release'
package 'nginx'
