# Fedora

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!

## Installation

Salt can be installed using `yum` and is available in the standard Fedora repositories.

### Stable Release

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

## Post-installation tasks

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:

    systemctl start salt-minion.service

Now go to the Configuring Salt page.

Current Salt release: 0.17.1
