Hey Everyone!

I made a mistake in yesterday's announcement email! The docs for installing PDK via brew and chocolatey are not published yet. But for those that want to do it, you can install PDK via brew using the instructions here: https://github.com/puppetlabs/homebrew-puppet . And for Choco, it's just a `choco install pdk` or `choco upgrade pdk`.

Thanks,

Bryan Jen

Hi folks!

I'm pleased to say that we *do* now have instructions for installing PDK with Homebrew or Chocolatey. See the Installing PDK page at https://puppet.com/docs/pdk/1.x/pdk_install.html for details.

Best,

Jean Bond
