Install puppetmaster on Sles 12 SP 2

Question

Hello I want to install puppet (puppetmaster) on a SLES 12 SP 2 VM, but I can't find any documentation or instructions.

I already tried :

• Install Puppet on OpenSuse 11.4
• Install Puppet on SLES 11 SP3

Have any one a good instructions for me. It would help me a lot, cause i am already misspent several days for it.

   For instance, the package for Puppet 6 Platform on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL 7) is puppet6-release-el-7.noarch.rpm.
