puppet apply not working

I am trying to puppet locally in my mac(OS X). I installed latest versions of puppet, hiera and facter. I created a module with the following structure

$ find .
.
./files
./manifests
./manifests/init.pp
./templates

and contents of hello_world/manifests/init.pp 

$ cat manifests/init.pp 
class hello_world { 
   file {'/tmp/itworks':
       ensure  => directory,
   }
}

but nothing happens when I run 

puppet apply hello_world/manifests/init.pp

You can try :

puppet apply -e 'include hello_world'

or for a dry run

puppet apply -e 'include hello_world' --noop

For more puppet apply, see manual page : http://docs.puppetlabs.com/man/apply.html

You define a class but never include it. (The class does not get declared.)

Note that modules are not usually applied directly. Instead, you apply a manifest that includes a class from the module (often, the class that is named after the module and automagically located in module_name/manifests/init.pp. E.g.

puppet apply -e 'include hello_world'

Note that the hello_world/ directory must be located in your $modulepath (usually /etc/puppet/modules for the open source variant.
