Which command would you use to ensure that the latest Puppet modules are installed?

The command to ensure that the latest Puppet modules are installed is 'puppet module install'. This command is specifically designed to fetch and install the specified module from a repository, such as the Puppet Forge or a specified path. When you use this command, it retrieves the latest version of the specified module if it is not already installed or will reinstall the module if you specify the version and it already exists.

While there are other commands related to managing Puppet modules, they serve different purposes. For instance, the 'puppet module update' command would be used to update already installed modules to the newest version. On the other hand, 'puppet module upgrade' is not a standard command in Puppet's module management, likely leading to confusion; instead, you would use the update command for existing modules. The 'puppet forge update' command does not exist in Puppet's toolkit and could mistakenly be assumed to perform an update function. Thus, using 'puppet module install' is the most direct and accurate method for ensuring that you have the latest versions of the specific modules you need installed on your system.
