FreeBSD

Installation

Salt is available in binary package form from both the FreeBSD pkgng repository or directly from SaltStack. The instructions below outline installation via both methods:

FreeBSD repo

The FreeBSD pkgng repository is preconfigured on systems 10.x and above. No configuration is needed to pull from these repositories.

pkg install py27-salt

These packages are usually available within a few days of upstream release.

SaltStack repo

SaltStack also hosts internal binary builds of the Salt package, available from https://repo.saltstack.com/freebsd/. To make use of this repository, add the following file to your system:

/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/saltstack.conf:

saltstack: {
  url: "https://repo.saltstack.com/freebsd/${ABI}/",
  enabled: yes
}

You should now be able to install Salt from this new repository:

pkg install py27-salt

These packages are usually available earlier than upstream FreeBSD. Also available are release candidates and development releases. Use these pre-release packages with caution.

Post-installation tasks
