 It is possible to edit ''/etc/puppet/puppet.conf'' and change the defaults, however doing so comes at the cost of maintainability as well as possible incompatibility with the distribution defaults.
+====== Extremely Quick Setup Guide for a Master and an Agent ======
+  * install Puppet using the distribution package manager
+  * to set up a master:
+    * edit ''/etc/puppet/puppet.conf'' and:
+      * 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:
+      * add ''server = myserver.tld'' to the ''[main]'' section (where, ''myserver.tld'' represents the hostname of the Puppet master),
+    * issue ''puppet agent -t --verbose'' from anywhere to start provisioning the agent,
+    * issue ''puppet cert list'' on the master to show all pending certificates waiting to be signed,
+    * issue ''puppet cert sign AGENT'' on the master where ''AGENT'' is the configured agent,
+    * issue ''puppet agent -t --verbose'' from anywhere once again to start provisioning the agent.
