Starting with Puppet 3, hiera is included in puppet, so you do not need to install it[1]. The confusion is likely because Hiera had to be installed separately when used with Puppet 2.7. There was also a dependency on hiera-puppet, but that too is unnecessary in Puppet 3. Note puppet uses hiera to retrieve data during catalog compilation. In agent/master setups, compilation occurs on the master. The install (if on Puppet 2.7) and configuration (2.7 & 3.x) need to be done on the master[2] Josh [1] http://docs.puppetlabs.com/#hierahiera1 [2] http://docs.puppetlabs.com/hiera/1/installing.html -- Josh Cooper Developer, Puppet Labs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
