-  - `Version` - puppet chocolatey version, for example "6.26.0"
-  - `AddPrivateChoco` ($true/$false) - if set to true, private MyGet repository will be added as `public`
-  - `PuppetMaster` (foreman.example.com) - if set, in `puppet.conf` section server will point to that variable

-  Example of usage:
-
-  `.\phase3.ps1 -Version 7.14.0 -AddPrivateChoco $true -PuppetMaster foreman.example.com`
