Puppet users - Aug 2013 - Installing Puppet Agent on Solaris without root privileges

Can anyone point me to a procedure to install only the Puppet Agent on a 
Solaris 10 system for which I do not have root access? Everything I have 
found online involves using pkgadd and/or pkgutil, both of which require 
root privileges to run.

You should be able to grab the source and perform an installation somewhere 
in your home directory.  You cannot perform a system-wide installation 
without root, however, and if you do not have root access then you cannot 
run Puppet as root.  That greatly limits what Puppet can actually do for 
you.
