Comment 3 Chris Duryee 2016-10-04 18:37:33 UTC 
As a workaround, you can do:

# /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/gem install yard
# /opt/puppetlabs/bin/puppet module install puppetlabs-strings

After installing puppetlabs-strings module I had to run below command to fix the issue with installer 

# puppet resource package puppet-strings provider=puppet_gem
Comment 8 Stephen Benjamin 2017-03-02 15:19:15 UTC 
Hi hi - just a note, the only step now is to insatll the puppet-strings gem.  The puppetlabs-string puppet module is now deprecated.
Comment 9 mhorga 2017-03-15 15:26:13 UTC 
I tried to do it both ways, with puppetlabs-strings installed and without it, but I still get this error:

# satellite-installer -S satellite -v
/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.0/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require': cannot load such file -- kafo (LoadError)
	from /usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.0/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'
	from /sbin/satellite-installer:3:in `<main>'

I wonder what am I missing here...
Comment 10 Lukas Pramuk 2017-08-08 11:55:16 UTC 
VERIFIED.

@satellite-6.3.0-16.0.beta.el7sat.noarch
puppet-agent-1.8.2-2.el7sat.x86_64
puppet-agent-oauth-0.5.1-2.el7sat.noarch
puppetserver-2.7.2-2.el7sat.noarch
rubygem-kafo-2.0.0-1.el7sat.noarch

# satellite-installer -S satellite ...
...
  Success!
  * Katello is running at https://sat4.example.com
      Initial credentials are admin / changeme
  * To install an additional Foreman proxy on separate machine continue by running:

      foreman-proxy-certs-generate --foreman-proxy-fqdn "$FOREMAN_PROXY" --certs-tar "/root/$FOREMAN_PROXY-certs.tar"

  The full log is at /var/log/foreman-installer/satellite.log
