If your master is running an older version (such as Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or Debian
Squeeze), then you will need to install GitPython using either pip_ or
easy_install (it is recommended to use pip). Version 0.3.2.RC1 is now marked as
the stable release in PyPI, so it should be a simple matter of running ``pip
install GitPython`` (or ``easy_install GitPython``) as root.
GitPython_ requires the ``git`` CLI utility to work. If installed from a system
package, then git should already be installed, but if installed via pip_ then
it may still be necessary to install git separately. For MacOS users,
GitPython_ comes bundled in with the Salt installer, but git must still be
installed for it to work properly. Git can be installed in several ways,
including by installing XCode_.
