Create the file
manifests/nodes.ppwith the following contents:node 'demo' { file { '/tmp/hello': content => "Hello, world\n", } }Change the
manifests/site.ppfile so it contains:import 'nodes.pp'
Your puppet directory should now look as shown in the following diagram:
Check whether everything still works:
