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 :ref:`all the shiny new
features <release-2017-7-0>`! Be sure to report any bugs you find on `Github
<https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/new/>`_.
Installing Using Packages
=========================
Builds for a few platforms are available as part of the RC at https://repo.saltstack.com/salt_rc/.
.. note::
For RHEL and Ubuntu, Follow the instructions on
https://repo.saltstack.com/, but insert ``salt_rc/`` into the URL between
the hostname and the remainder of the path. For example:
.. code-block:: bash
baseurl=https://repo.saltstack.com/salt_rc/yum/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/
.. code-block:: none
deb http://repo.saltstack.com/salt_rc/apt/ubuntu/14.04/amd64 jessie main
Available builds:
- Windows
.. FreeBSD
Installing Using Bootstrap
==========================
You can install a release candidate of Salt using `Salt Bootstrap
<https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap/>`_:
.. code-block:: bash
curl -o install_salt.sh -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com
sudo sh install_salt.sh -P git v2017.7.0rc1
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 -P -M git v2017.7.0rc1
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 -P -M -N git v2017.7.0rc1
Installing Using PyPI
=====================
Installing from the `source archive
<https://pypi.python.org/packages/5c/cf/13c14f8bcd7b5076b9a8c3580f9582c1c4ea8b0458793ac6744ea66c0baf/salt-2017.7.0rc1.tar.gz>`_ on
`PyPI <https://pypi.python.org/pypi>`_ is fairly straightforward.
.. note::
On RHEL derivatives you also need to install the ``epel-release`` package
first.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo yum install epel-release
First install the build dependencies.
- Debian-based systems:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev gcc g++
- RedHat-based systems:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo yum install python-pip python-devel gcc gcc-c++
- other systems:
You will need to install:
- pip
- python header libraries
- C and C++ compilers
Then install salt using the following command:
.. code-block:: bash
sudo pip install salt==2017.7.0rc1
