puppet module是puppet的基础模块工具,agent和master都可以使用,主要包含下载、更新、查找、升级、创建等功能.它可以从Puppetforge上查找已经开发好的puppet基础模块代码为我们使用，不需要自己再去编写,提升工作效率.
查看puppet module的帮助信息:
[root@puppet ~]# puppet help module USAGE: puppet module <action> [--environment production ] [--modulepath $basemodulepath ] This subcommand can find, install, and manage modules from the Puppet Forge, a repository of user-contributed Puppet code. It can also generate empty modules, and prepare locally developed modules for release on the Forge. OPTIONS: --render-as FORMAT - The rendering format to use. --verbose - Whether to log verbosely. --debug - Whether to log debug information. --environment production - The environment Puppet is running in. For clients (e.g., `puppet agent`) this determines the environment itself, which is used to find modules and much more. For servers (i.e., `puppet master`) this provides the default environment for nodes we know nothing about. --modulepath $basemodulepath - The search path for modules, as a list of directories separated by the system path separator character. (The POSIX path separator is ‘:‘, and the Windows path separator is ‘;‘.) Setting a global value for `modulepath` in puppet.conf is deprecated. Please use directory environments instead. If you need to use something other than the default modulepath of `<ACTIVE ENVIRONMENT‘S MODULES DIR>:$basemodulepath`, you can set `modulepath` in environment.conf. For more info, see http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/environments.html ACTIONS: build Build a module release package. changes Show modified files of an installed module. generate Generate boilerplate for a new module. install Install a module from the Puppet Forge or a release archive. list List installed modules search Search the Puppet Forge for a module. uninstall Uninstall a puppet module. upgrade Upgrade a puppet module. See ‘puppet man module‘ or ‘man puppet-module‘ for full help.
