Its primary\nfunction is to provide automated configuration and maintenance of large-scale\ncomputer systems.\n\nThe MPF or Masterfiles Policy Framework is intended to provide a stable base\npolicy for installations and upgrades, and is used by both CFEngine Enterprise and\nCFEngine community in versions 3.6 and newer.\nThe\n[documentation for the MPF](https://docs.cfengine.com/docs/master/reference-masterfiles-policy-framework.html) is\nhighly recommended.\n\n## Installation\n\nThere are several methods available for installing the CFEngine Masterfiles\nPolicy Framework.\n\n* From pkg tarball\n* From git\n* From source tarball\n\n### From pkg tarball\n\nIf you have downloaded\na [package tarball from our website](https://cfengine.com/product/community/)\n(not from github), you don't need to `autogen`, `configure` or `make` anything.\nInstead simply unpack the tarball to the desired location using `tar`.\n\nFor example:\n\n```\ntar zxvf cfengine-masterfiles-MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.pkg.tar.gz /var/cfengine/masterfiles\n```\n\n### From git\n\nClone this repository\n\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/cfengine/masterfiles\n```\n\nIf you have cloned the repository from github:\n\nRun autogen and make to build masterfiles.\n\n```\n./autogen.sh\nmake\n```\n\nOptionally configure masterfiles to install to a different location (perhaps your\nown version control checkout)\n\n```\n./configure --prefix=/tmp/cfengine/\nmake\n```\n\n```\nmake install\n```\n\n### From source tarball\n\nIf you have downloaded\na [release tarball from our website](https://cfengine.com/product/community/)\n(not from github), you don't need to run `autogen.sh`. By default it installs in\n`/var/cfengine/masterfiles` but you can override that easily:\n\n```\n./configure --prefix=/install/directory\nmake install\n```\n\nNote that the last directory component will always be called `masterfiles`.\n\n## Host report\n\nA very important piece of functionality, which you may want for your\nown use but will certainly be helpful for debugging or submitting bugs\nto CFEngine (core, masterfiles, or any other are) is the host report.\n\nRun the host report like so: `cf-agent -b host_info_report`\n\nYou should see output like:\n\n```\nR: Host info report generated and available at '/var/cfengine/reports/host_info_report.txt'\n```\n\nTake a look at the resulting file, it has lots of useful information about the system.\n\n## Contributing\n\nPlease see the [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) file.\n\nThe CFEngine masterfiles are under the MIT license, see [LICENSE](LICENSE)\n\n# Authors\n\nCFEngine was originally created by Mark Burgess with many contributions from\naround the world.
