I am completely new to Puppet and this is my first time writing code in puppet. I want to get a tar.gz file and then untar it to create the folder.

Here is my code:

file{ "${::filename}.tar.gz":
   ensure => 'file',
   mode   => '0644',
   notify => Exec['untar-file'],
exec{ 'download-file' :
   command => "wget URL_FOR_TAR_GZ",
   cwd     => "PATH_WHERE_TO_STORE",
   user    => "my_name",
   group   => "our company name",
exec { 'untar-file':
   command => "/bin/tar -xzvf tar_file_name",
   cwd     => "file_path",
   creates => "foldername_to_be_createdc",
   user    => "my_name",
   group   => "our company name",
   require => Exec['download-file']
As soon as I run this I get an error:
  
wget returned 8 instead of one of [0]" and "/Exec[download-file]/returns: change from notrun to 0 failed"
Where am I going wrong?
                What happens when you execute the wget command on the node manually? Also, why are you creating the tarball with a file resource and then attempting to download it afterward with the exec? Furthermore, the file resource can download files for you: docs.puppet.com/puppet/latest/types/…

                Status code 8 says something is wrong on the server Exit Status. Not sure the version of wget you are running so I took what Google offered up.

                @Matt: If I try to execute wget on command line I can download the file properly.   Ken: does it mean I need to change wget version?

                @Matt: because otherwise I get and error asking to define path to the command saying "Validation failed". Also I am using http url to download the file so I cannot use source in file

                Ok then work on fixing the double resource and missing path to wget and see what happens afterward.
