Install PE using the guided process

For an interactive experience, use the guided installation process. Based on information you provide about your environment and requirements, PIM automatically configures your PE installation.

Before you begin:
  • Ensure that you have the required access to the nodes where you want to install PE infrastructure.
    • To install the primary server locally on the machine where PIM is running, you must log in as the root user.
    • To install PE components on remote nodes, the machine running PIM must have SSH access to the target nodes, and the user executing the installation must have superuser privileges for those nodes.
  • Ensure that Puppet is not already installed on any of the nodes where you want to install PE infrastructure.
Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is enabled and enforced by default on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (RHEL 9) operating systems. In order to use PIM, users must provide permission for PIM binary.

To install PE by using the PIM guided process:

  1. Download PIM.

    Go to the Puppet Installation Manager download page and download the binary for your operating system.

  2. Start the guided installation process.

    In your terminal, navigate to the pim directory and run the following command:

    ./pim wizard
  3. Follow the guided steps in your terminal to complete the installation.
