Install PE from tarball

Before you begin:

Review the Hardware requirements for standard installations to make sure your system capacity can handle the standard PE installation.

Log in as root on your target primary server. If you're installing on a system that doesn't allow root login, you must use sudo su - to complete these steps.

  1. Download the tarball appropriate to your operating system and architecture.
    To download packages from the command line, run wget --content-disposition "<URL>" or curl -JLO "<URL>", using the URL for the tarball you want to download.
  2. To unpack the installation tarball, run:
    tar -xzf <TARBALL_FILENAME>
  3. From the installer directory, run ./puppet-enterprise-installer and follow the CLI instructions to complete the installation.
  4. Optional: Restart the shell to use client tool commands.
What to do next
After completing the standard installation, you can scale or customize your installation, if needed. For information and requirements for large and extra-large installations, go to Supported architectures and System requirements . You can use Configuration parameters and the pe.conf file to customize your installation.
