Set up your prerequisites

Before writing content for roles and profiles, you need to create modules to store them in.

1. Create one module for profile and one for role directly in your control repo. Do not put them in your Puppetfile.
2. Make a new directory in the control repo named site. For example, /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/site.
3. Add site to the modulepath in the environment.conf file. The modulepath is the place where Puppet looks for module information. For example: modulepath = site:modules:$basemodulepath.
4. Put the role and profile modules in the site directory.
