How to Install puppet on Redhat Linux

To install Puppet on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) system, you can follow these steps:

1. Add the Puppet repository to your system by running the following command:

sudo rpm -Uvh https://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppet6-release-el-7.noarch.rpm

This command will add the Puppet repository to your system’s package manager.

Note: If you are using a different version of RHEL, replace “el-7” in the above command with the appropriate version number for your system.

2. Install Puppet using the following command:

sudo yum install puppet-agent

This command will install the Puppet agent package on your system.

3. Start the Puppet service by running the following command:

sudo systemctl start puppet

This command will start the Puppet service and enable it to start automatically at boot time.

4. (Optional) Verify that Puppet is running by running the following command:

sudo systemctl status puppet

This command will display the status of the Puppet service and indicate whether it is running or not.

That’s it! Puppet is now installed on your Red Hat system and ready to be used. You can start writing Puppet code to manage your system’s configuration.
