Add modules to your Bolt project on an air-gapped (offline) workstation

You can add modules to a Bolt project on an (air-gapped) offline workstation by adding them from a release tarball, by configuring an alternate Forge, or by configuring a proxy.

Version and installation information

PE version: All supported versions.

Installation type: air-gapped

Solution

Choose one of these options based on your deployment.

Add modules using a release tarball

1. To create a modules directory in the Bolt project directory:

   mkdir modules

2. To install a module, run the install command from the Bolt project directory:

   puppet module install /path/to/module/tarball -i modules --ignore-dependencies

For example, to install a release tarball that’s saved to the home directory:

puppet module install ~/puppetlabs-stdlib-6.6.0.tar.gz -i modules --ignore-dependencies

After running the install command, your Bolt project directory has this structure:

$ tree -aL 2
.
├── bolt-debug.log
├── bolt-project.yaml
└── modules
    └── stdlib

Add modules using an alternate Forge

Configure Bolt to use an alternate Forge when it installs Forge modules using steps in our documentation.
