Installing SaltStack on Fedora

Salt has been available in the primary Fedora repositories and EPEL.

Salt is packaged separately for the minion and the master. It is necessary only to install the appropriate package for the role the machine will play. Typically, there will be one master and multiple minions.

yum install salt-master
yum install salt-minion

Post-Install Tasks

systemctl enable salt-master.service

To start the Master:

systemctl start salt-master.service

To have the Minion start automatically at boot time:

systemctl enable salt-minion.service

To start the Minion:

systemctl start salt-minion.service
