Upgrade macOS agents

To upgrade macOS agents without the puppetlabs/puppet_agent module, use the puppet resource command.

Before you begin: Download the appropriate agent DMG.

  1. Use the package resource provider for macOS to install the agent from a disk image:

    Copy 
    sudo puppet resource package "<NAME>.dmg" ensure=present source=<FULL PATH TO DMG>

  2. In Puppet Core 8.12 and later, to enable previous behavior where agents connected automatically to puppet, run:

    Copy 
    puppet config set server <FQDN> --section main
