+The next step is to create a virtual machine that will run puppet and connect to the master. This virtual machine will be your test puppet node.
+
+You will need to minimally install the following packages:
+
+{{{
+aptitude install puppet lsb-release
+}}}
+
+Then, edit /etc/puppet/puppet.conf adding the following line:
+
+{{{
+server=HOSTNAME-OF-MASTER
+}}}
+
+Replace HOSTNAME-OF-MASTER with the hostname of the machine from which yo uare running the puppet master command.
+
+Then, run the following command on your test puppet node:
+
+{{{
+puppet agent --verbose --waitforcert 60
+}}}
+
+On your master run:
+
+{{{
+puppet cert --list
+}}}
+
+And you should see the hostname of your puppet node.
+
+Then run (FIXME should include fingerprint verification):
+
+{{{
+puppet cert --confdir=$(pwd) --no-daemonize --sign HOSTNAME 
+}}}
+
+Replace HOSTNAME with the listed hostname from the previous command.
+
+Once the cert is verified, you can run the following on your test puppet node to test changes to the manifests and modules:
+
+{{{
+puppet agent --no-daemonize --verbose
+}}}
