Ubuntu Installation
===================
Add repository
==============
The latest packages for Ubuntu are published in the saltstack PPA. If you have
the ``add-apt-repository`` utility, you can add the repository and import the
key in one step:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:saltstack/salt
.. admonition:: add-apt-repository: command not found?
The ``add-apt-repository`` command is not always present on Ubuntu systems.
This can be fixed by installing `python-software-properties`:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
The following may be required as well:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
Note that since Ubuntu 12.10 (Raring Ringtail), ``add-apt-repository`` is
found in the `software-properties-common` package, and is part of the base
install. Thus, ``add-apt-repository`` should be able to be used
out-of-the-box to add the PPA.
Alternately, manually add the repository and import the PPA key with these
commands:
.. code-block:: bash
echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/saltstack/salt/ubuntu `lsb_release -sc` main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/saltstack.list
wget -q -O- "http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x4759FA960E27C0A6" | sudo apt-key add -
After adding the repository, update the package management database:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt-get update
Install packages
================
Install the Salt master, minion, or syndic from the repository with the apt-get
command. These examples each install one daemon, but more than one package name
may be given at a time:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt-get install salt-master
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt-get install salt-minion
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt-get install salt-syndic
Some core components are packaged separately in the Ubuntu repositories. These should be installed as well: salt-cloud, salt-ssh, salt-api
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt-get install salt-cloud
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt-get install salt-ssh
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt-get install salt-api
.. _ubuntu-config:
ZeroMQ 4
========
We recommend using ZeroMQ 4 where available. ZeroMQ 4 is already available for
Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 14.10 and nothing additional needs to be done. However,
the **chris-lea/zeromq** PPA can be used to provide ZeroMQ 4 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Adding this PPA can be done with a :mod:`pkgrepo.managed <salt.states.pkgrepo.managed>`
state.
.. code-block:: yaml
zeromq-ppa:
pkgrepo.managed:
- ppa: chris-lea/zeromq
The following states can be used to upgrade ZeroMQ and pyzmq, and then restart
the minion:
.. code-block:: yaml
update_zmq:
pkg.latest:
- pkgs:
- zeromq
- python-zmq
- order: last
cmd.wait:
- name: |
echo service salt-minion restart | at now + 1 minute
- watch:
- pkg: update_zmq
.. note::
This example assumes that atd is installed and running, see here_ for a more
detailed explanation.
.. _here: http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/faq.html#what-is-the-best-way-to-restart-a-salt-daemon-using-salt
If this repo is added *before* Salt is installed, then installing either
``salt-master`` or ``salt-minion`` will automatically pull in ZeroMQ 4.0.4, and
additional states to upgrade ZeroMQ and pyzmq are unnecessary.
Post-installation tasks
=======================
Now go to the :doc:`Configuring Salt</ref/configuration/index>` page.
