#Installation and basic configuration

#Important

  • sudo all the time! If you connect an agent to the puppetmaster once without using sudo and later try to connect using sudo, you won’t be able because the certificate does not match the private key. Delete all certificates for this agent on the puppetmaster and remove the agent’s ~/.puppet/ssh; now connect again using sudo.
