Fedora

These instructions explain how to install Salt on Fedora operating systems.

Note

Salt packages for Fedora are hosted on the Fedora package repository. Fedora creates its own Salt packages and the Salt Project does not publish separate Salt packages for download.

When you install on Fedora, it always installs the latest release of Salt. Updating the package will install the latest release, even if it is a new major version.

Before you start

Before installing Salt on your operating system, ensure that you first:

• Check system requirements
• Check your network ports
• Check your permissions
