You may want to have a look at the output of puppet --genconfig to see what paths are being used by default. At least with 2.7.3, if you run puppet --genconfig as a non-root user, puppet generates a configuration to put itself in $HOME/.puppet instead of the system defaults. If you're running puppet without root privileges, unless you're planning on multiple users doing ad hoc management you might as well install to a homedir. Installing through yum won't buy you much, IMHO.
