Users with some prior Puppet experience will get the most out of this book, but every lesson is intended to be helpful to someone at any stage of learning about Puppet. To follow along in the book, users should install a trial version of Puppet Enterprise and attach some nodes to the Puppet Master. Each chapter will help set up the Puppet Master in a way to utilize the existing infrastructure.

Directions for installing Puppet Enterprise can be found at https://puppet.com/docs/pe/latest/installing_pe.html.
