- ==============
- Salt Bootstrap
- ==============
- The Salt Bootstrap Script allows a user to install the Salt Minion or Master
- on a variety of system distributions and versions.
- The Salt Bootstrap Script is a shell script is known as ``bootstrap-salt.sh``.
- It runs through a series of checks to determine the operating system type and
- version. It then installs the Salt binaries using the appropriate methods.
- The Salt Bootstrap Script installs the minimum number of packages required to
- run Salt. This means that in the event you run the bootstrap to install via
- package, Git will not be installed. Installing the minimum number of packages
- helps ensure the script stays as lightweight as possible, assuming the user
- will install any other required packages after the Salt binaries are present
- on the system.
- The Salt Bootstrap Script is maintained in a separate repo from Salt, complete
- with its own issues, pull requests, contributing guidelines, release protocol,
- etc.
- To learn more, please see the Salt Bootstrap repo links:
- - `Salt Bootstrap repo`_
- - `README`_: includes supported operating systems, example usage, and more.
- - `Contributing Guidelines`_
- - `Release Process`_
- .. note::
- The Salt Bootstrap script can be found in the Salt repo under the
- ``salt/cloud/deploy/bootstrap-salt.sh`` path. Any changes to this file
- will be overwritten! Bug fixes and feature additions must be submitted
- via the `Salt Bootstrap repo`_. Please see the Salt Bootstrap Script's
- `Release Process`_ for more information.
