I tried installing puppetserver on my centos 9 stream but it gives me the following error:

Last metadata expiration check: 0:15:42 ago on Thu 23 Feb 2023
01:06:09 AM EST. No match for argument: puppetserver Error: Unable to
find a match: puppetserver

I downloaded the following rpm:

yum install https://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppet-release-el-9.noarch.rpm -y

RHEL 9 is not listed as a supported OS for the Puppet server.

It is only listed as a supported OS for the Puppet agent.

The server most probably is not available on the el-9 repo.

You can install it from source, it will however be more difficult to get support for it. It is preferable to use a supported OS instead.

  • Install Ruby: Puppet is written in Ruby, so you'll need to install a Ruby interpreter. You can do this using the package manager by running the command:

    sudo dnf install ruby

  • Install Puppet: Download the Puppet tarball from the Puppet website (https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/puppet_from_source.html) and extract it to a location of your choice.

  • Install Puppet dependencies: Install any required dependencies for Puppet by running the following command from the directory where you extracted the Puppet tarball:

    bundle install --path .vendor

  • Set up the environment: Set up the necessary environment variables by running the following command:

    export PATH=/bin:$PATH

  • Replace with the path to the directory where you extracted the Puppet tarball.

  • Verify the installation: Verify that Puppet is installed correctly by running the following command:

    puppet --version

This should display the version of Puppet that you just installed.
