Quick Start Guide – SaltStack Support

Install the Master and Minion from the bootstrap.

# wget -O - https://bootstrap.saltstack.com | sudo sh -M

Now edit the etc/salt/minion file and point to the master.

Restart the minion:

# service salt-minion restart

# salt-key -A

Run a command to make sure the master and minion are communicating:

# salt '*' test.ping

Sample output:

# salt '*' test.ping
