Question

Puppet How do i install a module from a tarball

Answer 1

Installing from a release tarball:

To install a module from a release tarball, specify the path to the tarball instead of the module name.

If you cannot connect to the Forge, or you are installing modules that have not yet been published to the Forge, use the --ignore-dependencies option and manually install any dependencies. 

For example:

puppet module install ~/puppetlabs-apache-0.10.0.tar.gz --ignore-dependencies
