PUPPET-MODULE(8)		 Puppet	manual		      PUPPET-MODULE(8)

NAME
       puppet-module  -	Creates, installs and searches for modules on the Pup-
       pet Forge.

SYNOPSIS
       puppet module action [--environment production ]	[--modulepath ]

DESCRIPTION
       This subcommand can find, install, and manage modules from  the	Puppet
       Forge, a	repository of user-contributed Puppet code. It can also	gener-
       ate empty modules, and prepare locally developed	modules	for release on
       the Forge.

OPTIONS
       Note  that any setting that's valid in the configuration	file is	also a
       valid long argument, although it	may or may  not	 be  relevant  to  the
       present action. For example, server and run_mode	are valid settings, so
       you  can	 specify  --server <servername>, or --run_mode <runmode> as an
       argument.

       See   the   configuration   file	   documentation    at	  https://pup-
       pet.com/docs/puppet/latest/configuration.html  for the full list	of ac-
       ceptable	parameters. A commented	list of	all configuration options  can
       also be generated by running puppet with	--genconfig.

       --render-as FORMAT
	      The  format  in  which to	render output. The most	common formats
	      are json,	s (string), yaml, and console, but other options  such
	      as dot are sometimes available.

       --verbose
	      Whether to log verbosely.

       --debug
	      Whether to log debug information.

       --environment production
	      The environment in which Puppet is running. For clients, such as
	      puppet agent, this determines the	environment itself, which Pup-
	      pet  uses	 to  find  modules and much more. For servers, such as
	      puppet server, this provides the default environment  for	 nodes
	      that Puppet knows	nothing	about.

	      When defining an environment in the [agent] section, this	refers
	      to  the  environment  that  the  agent requests from the primary
	      server. The environment doesn't  have  to	 exist	on  the	 local
	      filesystem because the agent fetches it from the primary server.
	      This definition is used when running puppet agent.

	      When  defined  in	 the [user] section, the environment refers to
	      the path that Puppet uses	to search for code and modules related
	      to its execution.	This requires the environment to exist locally
	      on the filesystem	where puppet is	being executed.	Puppet subcom-
	      mands, including puppet module and puppet	apply, use this	defin-
	      ition.

	      Given that the context and effects vary depending	on the	config
	      section		    https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/con-
	      fig_file_main.html#config-sections in which the environment set-
	      ting is defined, do not set it globally.

       --modulepath
	      The search path for modules, as a	list of	directories  separated
	      by  the system path separator character. (The POSIX path separa-
	      tor is ':', and the Windows path separator is ';'.)

	      Setting a	global value for modulepath in puppet.conf is not  al-
	      lowed  (but  it  can be overridden from the commandline).	Please
	      use directory environments instead. If you need to use something
	      other than the default modulepath	of <ACTIVE ENVIRONMENT'S  MOD-
	      ULES  DIR>:$basemodulepath,  you	can set	modulepath in environ-
	      ment.conf.  For  more  info,  see	  https://puppet.com/docs/pup-
	      pet/latest/environments_about.html

ACTIONS
       changes - Show modified files of	an installed module.
	      SYNOPSIS

	      puppet module changes path

	      DESCRIPTION

	      Shows any	files in a module that have been modified since	it was
	      installed.  This	action	compares  the files on disk to the md5
	      checksums	included in the	module's checksums.json	or, if that is
	      missing, in metadata.json.

	      RETURNS

	      Array of strings representing paths of modified files.

       install - Install a module from the Puppet Forge	or a release archive.
	      SYNOPSIS

	      puppet module install [--force | -f] [--target-dir DIR | -i DIR]
	      [--ignore-dependencies] [--version VER | -v VER] name

	      DESCRIPTION

	      Installs a module	from  the  Puppet  Forge  or  from  a  release
	      archive file. Note: Module install uses MD5 checksums, which are
	      prohibited on FIPS enabled systems.

	      The specified module will	be installed into the directory	speci-
	      fied  with  the --target-dir option, which defaults to the first
	      directory	in the modulepath.

	      OPTIONS --force |	-f - Force overwrite of	 existing  module,  if
	      any. Implies --ignore-dependencies.

	      --ignore-dependencies  - Do not attempt to install dependencies.
	      Implied by --force.

	      --target-dir DIR | -i DIR	- The directory	into which modules are
	      installed; defaults to the first directory in the	modulepath.

	      Specifying this option will change the  installation  directory,
	      and will use the existing	modulepath when	checking for dependen-
	      cies.  If	 you  wish to check a different	set of directories for
	      dependencies, you	must also  use	the  --environment  or	--mod-
	      ulepath options.

	      --version	 VER  |	 -v VER	- Module version to install; can be an
	      exact version or a requirement string, eg	'>=  1.0.3'.  Defaults
	      to latest	version.

	      RETURNS

	      Pathname object representing the path to the installed module.

       list - List installed modules
	      SYNOPSIS

	      puppet module list [--tree]

	      DESCRIPTION

	      Lists  the  installed  puppet  modules.  By default, this	action
	      scans the	modulepath from	puppet.conf's [main]  block;  use  the
	      --modulepath option to change which directories are scanned.

	      The output of this action	includes information from the module's
	      metadata,	 including  version numbers and	unmet module dependen-
	      cies.

	      OPTIONS --tree - Whether to show dependencies as a tree view

	      RETURNS

	      hash of paths to module objects

       uninstall - Uninstall a puppet module.
	      SYNOPSIS

	      puppet module uninstall [--force | -f] [--ignore-changes	|  -c]
	      [--version=] name

	      DESCRIPTION

	      Uninstalls  a  puppet  module from the modulepath	(or a specific
	      target directory). Note: Module uninstall	 uses  MD5  checksums,
	      which are	prohibited on FIPS enabled systems.

	      OPTIONS  --force | -f - Force the	uninstall of an	installed mod-
	      ule even if there	are local changes or the possibility of	 caus-
	      ing broken dependencies.

	      --ignore-changes	|  -c  - Uninstall an installed	module even if
	      there are	local changes to it. (Implied by --force.)

	      --version= - The version of the module to	uninstall. When	 using
	      this option, a module matching the specified version must	be in-
	      stalled or else an error is raised.

	      RETURNS

	      Hash  of module objects representing uninstalled modules and re-
	      lated errors.

       upgrade - Upgrade a puppet module.
	      SYNOPSIS

	      puppet module upgrade  [--force  |  -f]  [--ignore-dependencies]
	      [--ignore-changes	| -c] [--version=] name

	      DESCRIPTION

	      Upgrades	a  puppet module. Note:	Module upgrade uses MD5	check-
	      sums, which are prohibited on FIPS enabled systems.

	      OPTIONS --force |	-f - Force the upgrade of an installed	module
	      even  if	there  are local changes or the	possibility of causing
	      broken dependencies. Implies --ignore-dependencies.

	      --ignore-changes | -c - Upgrade  an  installed  module  even  if
	      there are	local changes to it. (Implied by --force.)

	      --ignore-dependencies  - Do not attempt to install dependencies.
	      Implied by --force.

	      --version= - The version of the module to	upgrade	to.

	      RETURNS

	      Hash
