Cannot install Puppet agent on Ubuntu 18 04

Question

Hi,

I am setting up a puppet infrastructure that has a puppet master on ubuntu 18.04 server and 2 puppet agents one on ubuntu 18.04 and one on CentOS7.

While trying to install puppet agent on ubuntu 18.04, I get this error, Can somebody help me with this?

Package puppet-agent has no installation candidate

Answer 1

This might be because your packages might not be updated.

Try to first run:

sudo apt-get update

Now run : 

sudo apt-get install puppet-agent

This will resolve the issue.
