Welcome

Welcome to the Salt install guide! This guide provides instructions for installing Salt on Salt supported operating systems. It also explains how to configure Salt, start Salt services, and verify your installation.

Note that the Salt Project has phased out classic package builds for supported operating systems for 3006 and later. Update your Salt infrastructure to the new onedir packages as soon as possible. See Upgrade to onedir for instructions.
