No, generally you can't. Puppet has no magic. The agent is its way to apply remotely-specified configuration to any given machine; it follows that if the agent is not already installed then Puppet provides no way for a remote master to modify the system. And that's exactly as you should want, for otherwise, what would prevent a rogue actor from using Puppet to apply changes of their choosing?
Puppet Enterprise does have mechanisms to facilitate installation of the agent, and there are various technologies for remote installation available for various computing platforms. And for new deployments, it is advisable to incorporate agent installation into the provisioning and deployment process. But no, Puppet does not do remote installation -- neither of itself, nor of anything else. Do not be confused by the capability of the agent, once installed, to perform *local* software installation as directed by catalogs provided to it by a remote master.
