Ruby Gems

Solaris Packages

Solaris packages are available as part of the Blastwave Project

RPM Packages

Puppet is available in RPM form as part of Fedora and EPEL. A simple yum install puppet or yum install puppet-server on such systems should be all you need. David Lutterkort also maintains a yum repository of Puppet RPMS. You can find the yum repo configuration file and a Puppet class that adds the repo to your hosts. Packages from that repository should be considered experimental and used mostly for testing.

Debian Packages

Debian packages are available from the Debian Packages site.

SuSE Packages

Martin Vuk has set up the SuSE build service to create Puppet and Facter SuSE packages. Older versions of Puppet can still be retrieved from Martin's old yum repository.

Mandriva packages are available from the Mandriva contrib repository.

Install From Source

If you're interested in developing your own extensions for Puppet, or you'd like to contribute to the project -- or even if you just prefer to build straight from the tree -- we've got a public Git repository for the project. Use git clone git://reductivelabs.com/puppet to check out the code, then run sudo ./install.rb from within the resulting repository. If you don't have git installed, you can browse to a online Git repository instead.

You can also find some instructions for running Puppet from source.
