You may want to have a look at the output of puppet --genconfig to see
what paths are being used by default. At least with 2.7.3, if you run
puppet --genconfig as a non-root user, puppet generates a
configuration to put itself in $HOME/.puppet instead of the system
defaults. If you''re running puppet without root privileges, unless
you''re planning on multiple users doing ad hoc management you might as
well install to a homedir. Installing through yum won''t buy you much,
IMHO.
