Connecting the first client

  1. apprentice@client:~$ sudo apt-get install puppet

  2. In /etc/puppet/puppet.conf, put:

    [main]
    server=puppet.servers.rug.nl
    	  

  3. apprentice@client:~$ sudo puppet agent --no-daemonize --verbose --waitforcert 10 --no-splay

    If that gives you errors, either this walkthrough is wrong, or you didn't follow it closely enough.
