Installing 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 the 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.
