Yes , it works and if you meet the following error

ruby setup.rb config
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9.1/yaml.rb:84:in `<top (required)>':
It seems your ruby installation is missing psych (for YAML output).

then run the following command

rvm pkg install libyaml
and
rvm reinstall ruby-(version)

On CentOS 6 this works too...

$ sudo rpm -i http://yum.puppetlabs.com/el/6/products/x86_64/puppetlabs-release-6-6.noarch.rpm
$ sudo yum install puppet puppet-server
