Can Puppet 4.x be installed on Ubuntu 14?

I am trying to install puppet 4.x on a Ubuntu 14 follwoing instructions: https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/4.5/reference/install_linux.html#for-apt-based-systems

If I use: puppetlabs-release-trusty.deb The latest version that gets installed is 3.8.

If I use: puppetlabs-release-pc1-trusty.deb The latest version that gets installed is 3.4.

How can I get puppet 4.x on Ubuntu 14

Solution

  • gem install puppet

    since Puppet 4 supports back to ruby 1.9.3, or use the Puppetlabs apt repo for Ubuntu 14 described here:

    https://docs.puppet.com/guides/puppetlabs_package_repositories.html#apt-based-systems

    and install with apt from there normally.
