Beginning with version 0.9.4, Salt has been available in `EPEL`_. It is installable using yum. Salt should work properly with all mainstream derivatives
|
|
of RHEL, including CentOS, Scientific Linux, Oracle Linux and Amazon Linux. Report any bugs or issues to the salt GitHub project.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Salt and all dependencies have been accepted into the yum repositories for
|
|
EPEL5 and EPEL6. The latest salt version can be found in epel-testing, while an
|
|
older but more tested version can be found in regular epel.
|
|
|
|
Example showing how to install salt from epel-testing:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
yum --enablerepo=epel-testing install salt-minion
|
|
|
|
On RHEL6, the proper Jinja package 'python-jinja2' was moved from EPEL to the
|
|
"RHEL Server Optional Channel". Verify this repository is enabled before
|
|
installing salt on RHEL6.
|
|
|
|
.. _`EPEL`: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
|
|
|
|
|
|
Salt can be installed using ``yum`` and is available in the standard Fedora
|
|
repositories.
|
|
|
|
Enabling EPEL on RHEL
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
If EPEL is not enabled on your system, you can use the following commands to
|
|
enable it.
|
|
|
|
For RHEL 5:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
rpm -Uvh http://mirror.pnl.gov/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
|
|
|
|
For RHEL 6:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
rpm -Uvh http://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stable Release
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Salt is packaged separately for the minion and the master. It is necessary only to install the appropriate package for the role the machine will play. Typically, there will be one master and multiple minions.
|
|
|
|
On the salt-master, run this:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
yum install salt-master
|
|
|
|
On each salt-minion, run this:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
yum install salt-minion
|
|
|
|
