I''m the first to admit that I''m an idiot. I want to get puppet 2.6.4 on Ubuntu 10.10. As far as I can tell, I need to compile puppet. I''ve downloaded the 2.6.4 code, but don''t know where to go from there. Any advice or pointers to existing documentation on this would be greatly appreciated.

You don''t have to compile puppet since ruby is an interpreted language
and puppet is written in ruby.
To install puppet and get familiar with it this looks like a good
starting point: http://docs.puppetlabs.com
To install puppet you can just untar the sources, cd in the new
directory and run
sudo ruby install.rb --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin
If you dont use bindir and sbindir it will install binaries into
/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin. But you have to make sure that these
are in your $PATH so you can run puppet from everywhere.

Thanks a bunch. I don''t know how I missed this information before. I used the instructions on http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/installation.html. I tried to first do the methodology using gems and it looked to install, but then I couldn''t find any proof that it had installed, so I used the source methodology. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

So, upon further review, it appears that install.rb does not work. I
found some threads addressing this issue:
According to
http://www.apacheserver.net/puppet-2-6-4-installation-options-for-redhat-centos-at1098441.htm:
(pasting below:)
I actually found the fix for the tar file method - the ''installation/
configuration'' writeup on puppetlabs just miss setting ownership on /
etc/puppet and /var/lib/puppet.
The complete set of commands is (as root):
tar xzvf puppet-2.6.4.tar.gz
cd puppet-2.6.4
ruby install.rb
cd /etc/puppet
puppet --genconfig > puppet.conf
mkdir -p /etc/puppet/manifests
cd /etc/puppet/manifests
cat <<EOF > site.pp
# site.pp
file { "/etc/sudoers":
owner => root, group => root, mode => 440
}
EOF
puppetmasterd --mkusers
cd /var/lib/puppet
chown -R puppet:puppet .
cd /etc/puppet
chown -R puppet:puppet .
puppetmasterd
