Puppet Agent Gem Install

[Tony Wu]

Hi,

I have a agent side function that requires a gem, so I did:

/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install my_gem

If I do list, it shows the gem as being installed, but when invoking the function it can't find it. Any suggestion?

Thanks very much.

Hi Tony,

puppet functions are executed on the puppet server.

You need to install the gem within the puppet server

puppetserver gem install my gem

Hth,

Martin

I did that too, but that still didn’t work. Let me double check again.

Best,

Hi Martin,

Got it to work, it was indeed server side as you stated. Perhaps I just forgot to restart it? I have no idea.

Much appreciated for your reply.

Take care,

Tony Wu

Hi Tony,

yes, restarting puppetserver is required once you install a puppetserver gem.

Good to know that it is working.

Happy puppetizing,

Martin
