Puppet is a popular configuration management tool that allows you to automate the deployment and management of software and systems. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the process of installing Puppet on Manjaro.
Before you proceed with the installation, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
The Puppet packages are signed with a GPG key to ensure their authenticity. You need to import the key to avoid any errors during installation.
Execute the following command to download and import the key:
sudo pacman-key --recv-keys ED409DA1
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key ED409DA1
Manjaro uses the Pacman package manager to install and update software packages. You need to add the Puppet repository to your Pacman configuration file to download and install the package.
Execute the following command to add the repository:
sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
[puppetlabs]
Server = https://yum.puppetlabs.com/manjaro/$repo/$arch
Save the changes and close the file.
To download the latest version of the Puppet package, you need to update your local package database.
Execute the following command to update the database:
sudo pacman -Syy
Finally, you can start the installation of the Puppet package by executing the following command:
sudo pacman -S puppet
Congratulations! You have successfully installed the Puppet package on your Manjaro system. You can now start using Puppet to manage your system configurations.
