Beginning with version 0.9.4, Salt has been available in the primary Fedora repositories and EPEL. It is installable using yum. Fedora will have more up to date versions of Salt than other members of the Red Hat family, which makes it a great place to help improve Salt!
Salt can be installed using yum and is available in the standard Fedora repositories.
Salt is packaged separately for the minion and the master. It is necessary only to install the appropriate package for the role the machine will play. Typically, there will be one master and multiple minions.
yum install salt-master
yum install salt-minion
Master
To have the Master start automatically at boot time:
systemctl enable salt-master.service
To start the Master:
systemctl start salt-master.service
Minion
To have the Minion start automatically at boot time:
systemctl enable salt-minion.service
To start the Minion:

Now go to the Configuring Salt page.
