Installing Puppet
Puppet is not installed on your Oracle Solaris system by default. You must install the Puppet software package, system/management/puppet
, on each managed node that runs the Puppet Agent.
The following command determines whether the Puppet package is installed on this system:
$ pkg list puppet
pkg list: no packages matching the following patterns are installed:
puppet
The pkg info -r puppet
command shows information about the Puppet package. In addition to the package summary and description, this output shows that Puppet is not installed and that the version of Puppet that is delivered by this package is version 7.21.0.
$ pkg info -r puppet
Name: system/management/puppet
Summary: Puppet agent - The Puppet daemon that runs on the target system
(node).
Description: Puppet is a flexible, customizable framework designed to help
system administrators automate the many repetitive tasks they
regularly perform. As a declarative, model-based approach to IT
automation, it lets you define the desired state - or the "what"
- of your infrastructure using the Puppet configuration
language. Once these configurations are deployed, Puppet
automatically installs the necessary packages and starts the
related services, and then regularly enforces the desired state.
