<a href="http://saltstack.com">SaltStack</a> is extremely fast and scalable
systems and configuration management software for predictive orchestration,
cloud and data center automation, server provisioning, application deployment
and more. </p>
<p>Documentation for Salt is available at
<a href="http://docs.saltstack.com">http://docs.saltstack.com</a>
</p>
<p> This package will install Salt on your Mac. Salt
installs into /opt/salt. You may want to add /opt/salt/bin to your
PATH environment variable.</p>
<p>LaunchD plist files will be installed in /Library/LaunchDaemons.
To enable startup of Salt processes on boot, run one or more of the following
as root:</p>
<table border=0 cellpadding='5'>
<tr><td>salt-minion</td>
<td>launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.saltstack.salt.minion.plist</td></tr>
<tr><td>salt-master</td>
<td>launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.saltstack.salt.master.plist</td></tr>
<tr><td>salt-syndic</td>
<td>launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.saltstack.salt.syndic.plist</td></tr>
<tr><td>salt-api</td>
<td>launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.saltstack.salt.api.plist</td></tr>
</table>
<p>Sample configuration files (master.dist and minion.dist) will be
installed to /etc/salt. Create copies of them without the '.dist' in
the filename and edit as you see fit.</p>
<p>This Salt package uses a custom-built Python. To install additional
Python modules for Salt, use the associated 'pip' binary. For example,
if you need LDAP support in Salt you will need the 'python-ldap' module.
Install it with
<blockquote>
/opt/salt/python/bin/pip install python-ldap
</blockquote>
<p>
Note that some Python modules need a compiler available. Installing
Apple's xCode command line tools should provide the necessary utilities.
Alternatively, <a href="http://macports.org">MacPorts</a>,
<a href="http://finkproject.org">Fink</a>, or <a href="http://brew.sh">
Homebrew</a> may provide what you need.
