Installing/Testing a Salt Release Candidate
===========================================
It's time for a new feature release of Salt! Follow the instructions below to
install the latest release candidate of Salt, and try :doc:`all the shiny new
features </topics/releases/2014.7.0>`! Be sure to report any bugs you find on
`Github <http://www.github.com/saltstack/salt>`_
Installing Using Bootstrap
==========================
The easiest way to install a release candidate of Salt is using
`Salt Bootstrap`_:
.. code-block:: bash
curl -o install_salt.sh -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com
sudo sh install_salt.sh git v2014.7.0rc4
If you want to also install a master using `Salt Bootstrap`_, use the ``-M``
flag:
.. code-block:: bash
curl -o install_salt.sh -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com
sudo sh install_salt.sh -M git v2014.7.0rc4
If you want to install only a master and not a minion using `Salt Bootstrap`_,
use the ``-M`` and ``-N`` flags:
.. code-block:: bash
curl -o install_salt.sh -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com
sudo sh install_salt.sh -M -N git v2014.7.0rc4
Installation from Source Tarball
================================
Installing from the source tarball on PyPI is also fairly straightforward.
First, install all the dependencies for Salt as documented :ref:`in the
installation docs <_installation>`. Then install salt using the following:
.. code-block:: bash
curl -O https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/salt/salt-2014.7.0rc4.tar.gz
tar -xzvf salt-2014.7.0rc4.tar.gz
cd salt-2014.7.0rc4
sudo python setup.py install
