These commands will install the necessary package and enable the Puppet repository.

Step 2: Install Puppet Server and Agent

To install Puppet, we need to install the server and agent packages. You can do this by executing the following command:

$ sudo dnf install puppetserver puppet-agent

The above command will install both the Puppet server and agent packages.

Step 3: Start and Enable Puppet Server

Once the installation is complete, we need to start and enable the Puppet server. You can do this by executing the following commands:

$ sudo systemctl enable puppetserver
$ sudo systemctl start puppetserver

The above commands will enable and start the Puppet server.

Step 4: Verify Puppet Installation

To verify that Puppet is installed correctly, we can run the following command to ensure that both the Puppet server and agent are running:
