Install PE
To install Puppet Enterprise (PE), you can use either the PE installer tarball for your operating system platform or Puppet Installation Manager.

Install PE using installer tarball
This installer employs default settings to install PE infrastructure components on a single node, creating a standard PE architecture. You can use a standard installation to try out PE with up to 10 nodes, or to manage up to 4,000 nodes. From there, you can scale up to the large or extra-large installation as your infrastructure grows, or customize your configuration as needed. -
Install PE using PIM
Puppet Installation Manager (PIM) supports the deployment of standard, large, and extra-large PE architectures. For an interactive experience, choose the guided installation and follow the step-by-step process in your terminal to configure and install the PE infrastructure you require. Alternatively, if you do not require guidance, you can create a JSON file containing your custom installation parameters, and run the installation from the command line.
