How to run local puppet parser on local files

[peterlamar]

Perhaps I am missing something obvious? I cannot seem to get Puppet parser to run on local files

osboxes@puppetself:~/dev/pupperware$ ./bin/puppet parser validate ./demouser.pp Error: One or more file(s) specified did not exist: [" ./demouser.pp\n"] Error: Try 'puppet help parser validate' for usage

Thanks in advance!
