Error in installing puppet enterprise

Question

I have downloaded the Puppet Enterprise 3.7 installer from the PuppetLabs website, but while installing I got the below error...

./puppet-enterprise-installer

ERROR: This is a supported platform, but this is not the installer for this platform. Please use the platform specific installer
(puppet-enterprise-3.7.2-el-6-x86_64).

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

You can get the enterprise linux puppet installer for 3.7.2 following this link.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/pe-builds/released/3.7.2/puppet-enterprise-3.7.2-el-6-x86_64.tar.gz

Looks to me like you downloaded it for the wrong linux distribution.

Hope this helps.

** This only applies to the open source version **
Which distribution are you installing this on? The error is telling you to use the EL6 install package which is available on their yum repo. It's much easier if you just install their repo package:

rpm -Uhv http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-6.noarch.rpm

and then run yum install puppet facter .
