I will find the answer of my question by browsing on net it is like that I have downloaded all the cookbooks from opscode.com but I did is that upload the cookbook aliases created by me and I entered the line into its metadat.rb file is that it depends on magic_shell cookbook so,I have to upload first magic_shell cookbook then try to upload aliases

Rajesh's answer correct identifies root cause.

What I would additionally suggest is investigate the use of one of the following tools:

What they do is manage cookbook dependencies for you, automatically downloading missing cookbooks and saving lots of time.

It seems your dependency check failed. Before uploading the chef cookbook, cookbooks are compiled. While compiling chef will check for all dependencies. You can check these dependencies in metadata.rb file.

Can you able to find depends "aliases" in metadata.rb file of magic_shell cookbook.

It means magic_shell depends on aliases cookbook. To resolve this try this command 

knife cookbook site download aliases

Execute above command for each dependencies. Now try

knife cookbook upload -a
