Salt Cloud - Install
********************

.. highlight:: bash

.. note:: I followed the instructions in
          `Salt-Cloud to Spin Up DigitalOcean Resources`_ which uses
          ``salt-cloud`` on the ``master``.  This worked very nicely.

          See :doc:`salt-cloud-digitalocean` for instructions.

_______________________________________________________________________________

.. warning:: The following notes are the old instructions.

.. important:: These instructions should install version 2015.8.3 (Beryllium)

Install dependencies::

  sudo apt-get install build-essential python-m2crypto sshpass python-software-properties

If the instructions above do not install version 2015.8.3, then try this::

  sudo -i
  wget -O - https://repo.saltstack.com/apt/ubuntu/14.04/amd64/latest/SALTSTACK-GPG-KEY.pub | sudo apt-key add -

Add the following line to ``/etc/apt/sources.list``::

  # vim /etc/apt/sources.list
  deb http://repo.saltstack.com/apt/ubuntu/14.04/amd64/latest trusty main

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install salt-cloud

Configuration files
-------------------

.. warning:: The configuration files are kept securely and should **never be
             copied to a public repository e.g. DropBox, GitHub or BitBucket**
