puppet-agent: Enable the agent.
$ puppet agent --enable
try on your machine
The command "puppet agent --enable" is used in the Puppet configuration management tool to enable Puppet's main agent process on a system.
When the Puppet agent is enabled, it means that the system will actively check for changes in the Puppet infrastructure and apply them as instructed by the Puppet master server. The agent regularly contacts the Puppet master to retrieve the latest configurations and applies them to ensure the system is in the desired state.
By running "puppet agent --enable" on a system, you are instructing it to start or enable the Puppet agent process, which will then actively synchronize the system's configuration with the configurations defined in the Puppet infrastructure.
