By default, Code Manager and r10k install content in a modules directory ( ./modules ) in the same directory the Puppetfile is in. For example, declaring the puppetlabs-apache module in the Puppetfile normally installs the module into ./modules/apache . To learn more about modules, see the module documentation.
