I'm installing puppet-server on centOS 6.5 VM with RAM 2 GB & 2 CPU. But it is always pulling up the old version of puppet.

[root@puppetmaster ~]# puppet --version 2.7.26 [root@puppetmaster ~]# puppet master --version 2.7.26

Command i'm using

yum install puppet-server

I wanted to install puppet master 3.7.5 which is the latest version. Can some explain this behavior?

Regards Gagan

  • Yum is not necessarily pulling the latest version of the package. It will only pull the latest version available in repository by default. To install the latest version, either add a custom repository or install it manually (try `localinstall` option if you got the v3.7.5 package) – Raptor May 29 '15 at 03:48
  • Can you send me some set of command as i'm new in linux too. It will be helpful. Thanks – ggtffg May 29 '15 at 04:03

This should work:

rpm -ivh http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-6.noarch.rpm
yum install puppetserver

You have to enable the Puppetlabs repo first, otherwise it'll install the old version.

You may not have the repo which has latest version of the software.Add the repository which has latest version of the software to your yum and run install this way

yum --disablerepo=base,updates --enablerepo=<repo name> install puppet

If it is already installed

yum --disablerepo=base,updates --enablerepo=<repo name> update puppet

Another way a more difficult one is to compile from source.
