According to the Gottesmann-Knill theorem the non-Gaussian states are necessary component for a nontrivial quantum computation. We show two efficient and deterministic methods of $\chi^{(3)}$ non-Gaussian state generation for a cavity mode using a single trapped ion. Both require ion motional state transfer to the cavity field. The methods are experimentally feasible. The first is based on the well-known protocol for an ion finite motional superposition state generation. It allows for an arbitrary good approximation of $\chi^{(3)}$ non-Gaussian states. We give criteria based on the Wigner function which quantify the error resulting from the approximation. The second and novel method enables an exact non-Gaussian state generation using one laser pulse only.
