Bootstrap

=========
If you're looking for the *one-liner* to install salt, please scroll to the bottom and use the
instructions for `Installing via an Insecure One-Liner`_.
.. note::
In every two-step example, you would be well-served to examine the downloaded file and examine
it to ensure that it does what you expect.

In every two-step example, you would be well-served to examine the downloaded file and examine

These examples below show how to bootstrap Salt directly from GitHub or other Git repository.
Run the script without any parameters to get latest stable Salt packages for your system from
`SaltStack corporate repository`_. See first example in the `Install using wget`_ section.

curl -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com -o install_salt.sh

If you want to install a specific release version (based on the Git tags):
.. code:: console
curl -o bootstrap_salt.sh -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com
sudo sh bootstrap_salt.sh git v2015.8.7
To install a specific branch from a Git fork:
.. code:: console
curl -o bootstrap_salt.sh -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com
sudo sh bootstrap_salt.sh -g https://github.com/myuser/salt.git git mybranch
If all you want is to install a ``salt-master`` using latest Git:
.. code:: console
curl -o bootstrap_salt.sh -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com
sudo sh bootstrap_salt.sh -M -N git develop
If your host has Internet access only via HTTP proxy:
.. code:: console
PROXY='http://user:password@myproxy.example.com:3128'
curl -o bootstrap_salt.sh -L -x "$PROXY" https://bootstrap.saltstack.com
sudo sh bootstrap_salt.sh -G -H "$PROXY" git
Install using wget
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Using ``wget`` to install your distribution's stable packages:
.. code:: console
wget -O install_salt.sh https://bootstrap.saltstack.com
sudo sh install_salt.sh
wget -O bootstrap_salt.sh https://bootstrap.saltstack.com
sudo sh bootstrap_salt.sh
Install a specific version from git using ``wget``:
.. code:: console
wget -O install_salt.sh https://bootstrap.saltstack.com
sudo sh install_salt.sh -P git v0.16.4
wget -O bootstrap_salt.sh https://bootstrap.saltstack.com
sudo sh bootstrap_salt.sh -P git v2015.8.7
On the above example we added `-P` which will allow PIP packages to be installed if required but
it's no a necessary flag for git based bootstraps.
