(I)安装相关依赖包

1 添加EPEL包管理器：

sudo rpm -ivh http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-6.noarch.rpm

2 安装依赖软件包

yum install -y mysql-server ri rdoc

3 安装相关的软件RubyGem

注意：开始安装官方最新的版本（2.4.1）结果到后面报错。google之后，发现时版本不对，所以老老实实用了刘宇书上的提供的版本.

cd /tmp
wget http://production.cf.rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-1.3.7.tgz
tar -zxvf rubygems-1.3.7.tgz
cd rubygems-1.3.7
ruby setup.rb

4安装rake

gem install rake

(II)安装Dashboard软件包

1. 通过RPM包安装puppet Dashboard,添加Yum仓库

rpm -ivh  http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/6Server/products/x86_64/puppetlabs-release-6-7.noarch.rpm

安装成功后会有PuppetLabs仓库配置文件/etc/yum.repos.d/puppetlabs.repo存在。

2.安装Dashboard

yum install -y puppet-dashboard

(III)配置Dashboard

1.配置mysql数据库
创建dashboard数据库和用户

mysql

create database dashboard default charset utf8;
grant all privileges on dashboard.* to 'lixw'@'localhost' identified by '1'; 
flush privileges;
