That''s not really a puppet question. Typically installation of software
in
normal (posix compliant) locations requires root privileges. Merely 
limiting the commands one is capable of executing via sudo would likely be 
enough.

Supposing that users have sudo in the first place, though that''s not 
uncommon.

Note also, however, that that only applies to installing software in system 
locations.  If users can write to their own home directories then it''s 
pretty darn hard to prevent them from installing software there.
