Installing and managing modules from the command line

Install, upgrade, and uninstall Forge modules from the command line with the puppet module command.

The puppet module command provides an interface for managing modules from the Forge. Its interface is similar to other common package managers, such as gem, apt-get, or yum. You can install, upgrade, uninstall, list, and search for modules with this command.

If you are using Code Manager or r10k, do not install, update, or uninstall modules with the puppet module command. With code management, you must install modules with a Puppetfile. Code management purges modules that were installed with the puppet module command. See the Puppetfile documentation for instructions.
