+      * add ''server = myserver.tld'' to the ''[main]'' section (where ''myserver.tld'' represents the hostname of the current machine; of the master),
+      * add ''dns_alt_names = myserver.tld'' to the ''[master]'' section (where ''myserver.tld'' represents the hostname of the current machine; of the master),
+    * issue ''puppet config print | grep "^manifest ="'' in order to determine where the ''.pp'' files should go,
+      * add files to the directory, for instance ''site.pp''
+    * issue ''puppet apply -t --verbose site.pp'' inside the manifest directory
+  * to set up an agent:
+    * edit ''/etc/puppet/puppet.conf'' and:
