as well.

--------------
Install Salt stable releases from the Arch Linux Official repositories as follows:
.. code-block:: bash
pacman -S salt
Tracking develop
----------------
To install the bleeding edge version of Salt (**may include bugs!**),
use the -git package. Installing the -git package as follows:
.. code-block:: bash
wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sa/salt-git/salt-git.tar.gz
tar xf salt-git.tar.gz
cd salt-git/
makepkg -is
.. note:: yaourt
If a tool such as Yaourt_ is used, the dependencies will be
gathered and built automatically.
The command to install salt using the yaourt tool is:
.. code-block:: bash
yaourt salt-git
.. _Yaourt: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=5863
Post-installation tasks
=======================
**systemd**
Activate the Salt Master and/or Minion via ``systemctl`` as follows:
.. code-block:: bash
systemctl enable salt-master.service
systemctl enable salt-minion.service
**Start the Master**
Once you've completed all of these steps you're ready to start your Salt
Master. You should be able to start your Salt Master now using the command
seen here:
.. code-block:: bash
systemctl start salt-master
Now go to the :ref:`Configuring Salt<configuring-salt>` page.
