Puppet is a popular configuration management tool that automates the deployment and management of software and infrastructure. In this tutorial, we will be installing Puppet on macOS.
Before we can begin the installation process, make sure that your macOS system meets the following requirements:
Open the Terminal application on your macOS system.
Type the following command to install Puppet using the macOS package installer:
sudo installer -pkg puppet-agent-<version>.pkg -target /
Replace <version> in the command above with the version of Puppet you wish to install. You can find the latest version of Puppet on https://puppet.com/.
Enter your macOS system password when prompted to authenticate the installation.
After the installation is completed, verify that Puppet is installed by running the following command:
