+title: Installing OpenVox
+subsection: openvox
+---
+
+OpenVox package downloads are currently sponsored by [Overlook InfraTech](https://overlookinfratech.com).
+Following Perforce's suggestions, these are straight rebuilds of the original packages with no branding or name changes.
+Be aware that this will change as soon as the OpenVox pipelines are running.
+
+🚨 Before you enable and install the packages, be forewarned that these are preliminary kick-the-tires packages only.
+We do not yet have a fully robust test pipeline, although with the community interest that will be forthcoming.
+
+## Installation
+
+First enable the repository, based on your Linux distribution.
+Choose the appropriate repo package from either of these locations and install it.
+
+* Debian family:
+  * [https://apt.overlookinfratech.com](https://apt.overlookinfratech.com)
+* RedHat family:
+  * [https://yum.overlookinfratech.com](https://yum.overlookinfratech.com)
+
+Then install the packages you want.
+
+* Debian
+  * `apt install puppet-agent`
+  * `apt install puppetserver`
+  * `apt install puppetdb`
+* RedHat
+  * `yum install puppet-agent`
+  * `yum install puppetserver`
+  * `yum install puppetdb`
+
+### Sponsorship
+
+Many thanks to Lance and the [OSU Open Source Lab](https://osuosl.org).
+They do so much for the open source world and deserve far far more recognition for it.

+
+As of now, OpenVox is effectively the same as the original Puppet™️ packages, aside from some minor build pipeline changes and package renaming.
+This means that aside from the installation, all Puppet™️ docs and tutorials will still be completely applicable.
+
+## Installation
+
+Start by following the instructions on the [install page](/openvox/install) and installing the `puppet-agent` package only.
+Then come back here to continue.
+
+## Explore the resources on your system
+
+Now that you have OpenVox installed, explore around and take a look at how it
+sees your system.
+This command will show you how OpenVox represents the current state of a specific kind of resource, in this case the `user` resources.
+The output will be your first view of the Puppet™️ DSL (domain specific language).
+
+```
+# puppet resource user
+```
+
+Pick the name of one of your user resources and run again.
+This shows the same output, but scoped to a single user.
+
+```
+# puppet resource user binford2k
+```
+
+Try a similar command with the `file` resource and the name of a file on your computer, maybe `/etc/hosts`.
+
+```
+# puppet resource file /etc/hosts
+```
+
+Now you see how OpenVox sees resources as the *type* and *title* of the resource and then a list of *attributes* of that resource.
+
+Just for fun, try using `puppet resource` to list all the `file` resources.
+This doesn't work because unlike users which are easily *enumerable*, all the files on a modern computer are not computationally feasible to enumerate.
+
+## Manage state of a resource
+
+You'll notice that the output of the `puppet resource` commands is extremely thorough.
+That's because it's exhaustively describing all the state known about every resource.
+Generally speaking, you don't really care about all the details.
+When you write Puppet™️ code, you only need to describe the things you *do* care about.
+
+Let's try that now. Create a *manifest*, or a source file of Puppet™️ code.
+
+``` puppet
+# hello.pp
+file { '/tmp/foo':
+  ensure  => file,
+  owner   => 'root',
+  mode    => '0664', # mode is a nerdy word for "permissions"
+  content => "Hello there from OpenVox!\n",
+}
+```
+
+```
+$ puppet apply hello.pp
+```
+
+Now examine `/tmp/foo` and see that it meets all the specifications you described in your manifest, including the string of content.
+
+## Go forth and experiment!
+
+As the OpenVox project matures, we will create more documentation, guides, and tutorials.
+For the time being though, now you'll want to hop over to Puppet's own [documentation](http://puppet.com/docs) and go from there.
+
+Please use the *Connect* resources in the menubar to engage with us and share any questions or thoughts you have!

+
+OpenVox is backwards compatible with the Puppet language and configuration files.
+As we evolve, we intend to do so in ways that benefit the whole community of users, whether paid Perforce customers or open source OpenVox users.
+
+To do this, we have established a standards steering committee which will make all major roadmap decisions on features and language design to ensure the maximum interoperability between the difference implementations of the Puppet standards.
+As warranted, feedback from the broader community will be requested using Vox Pupuli's standard lazy consensus model.
+
+This group represents the diverse interests involved in the project, from companies participating in OpenVox's development to Perforce to community users and developers.
