need to enable puppet platform on Apt package management system

Question

I need a few components in Puppet that will help me deploy my application successfully for which I need to enable the Puppet platform. I am on a Linux machine with Apt as the package management system. How can I enable the platform?

Answer 1

Log in as root, download the package and run the dpkg tool in install mode:

wget <PACKAGE_URL> 
sudo dpkg -i <FILE_NAME>.deb

For example, to enable the Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial repository:

wget https://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppet6-release-xenial.deb 
sudo dpkg -i puppet6-release-xenial.deb

Update the apt package lists:

sudo apt-get update
