I just downloaded the puppet enterprise installer for my OS version from the puppetlabs website and the installer seems to fail immediately. Why is it failing:

sudo ./puppet-enterprise-installer
basename: missing operand
Try `basename --help' for more information.

This is the only output from the installer before it stops.

I am running Centos 6 64bit.

  • That looks like a bug. That's why I was asking whether you downloaded from their site. That error means that basename was run with no target but we can't help without having access to the script you're running. – terdon♦ Mar 2 '15 at 20:49
  • Installer script: pastebin.com/4arN31WJ – awmusic12635 Mar 2 '15 at 20:56
  • OK, that makes no sense. The only basename call there is run on $0 which can't ever be empty (it's the name of the running script) as far as I know. Try creating a file with this line: basename ${0?}, save it as foo and then run /bin/bash foo. Does that also give an error? – terdon♦ Mar 2 '15 at 21:04
  • No error, just outputs "foo" – awmusic12635 Mar 2 '15 at 21:17
  • Please run sudo bash -x ./puppet-enterprise-installer and post the resulting trace. – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Mar 3 '15 at 0:11

I had the same issue (centos 6 64 bit). I found some of the system packages missing. I got through by running:

yum install -y pciutils system-logos which libxml2 dmidecode net-tools virt-what apr apr-util curl mailcap libjpeg libtool-ltdl unixODBC libxslt zlib

make sure you have the dependencies installed. See - https://docs.puppetlabs.com/pe/latest/install_system_requirements.html
