You don't have to compile puppet since ruby is an interpreted language and puppet is written in ruby.
To install puppet and get familiar with it this looks like a good starting point: http://docs.puppetlabs.com To install puppet you can just untar the sources, cd in the new directory and run sudo ruby install.rb --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin If you dont use bindir and sbindir it will install binaries into /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin. But you have to make sure that these are in your $PATH so you can run puppet from everywhere. -Stefan On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 04:01:12PM -0800, TT wrote: > I'm the first to admit that I'm an idiot. > > I want to get puppet 2.6.4 on Ubuntu 10.10.
