How to install and configure Salt

Salt is a large-scale distributed configuration management system. After installing Salt on Linux, you need to configure it. The following is a brief introduction to the installation and configuration of Salt on FreeBSD 8.2. I hope to help you.

There is no default Ports, you need to re-download the Ports directory, you can also upgrade.

Download the folder ports

# mv /usr/ports /usr/ports.old

#cd /usr

#portsnap fetch extract< Br>

This step takes some time, usually about 20 minutes.

Install the software: At this time, the new ports directory will have the following directory

This example installs the master terminal

#cd /usr/ports/sysutils/py-salt

#cd /usr/ports/devel/libtool

#make install Clean FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=yes

Overwrite the default version, or not install it
