pkg install -v pkg:/library/python/salt@2017.7.2

4. Edit the salt-minion configuration file for your environment:

vim /opt/local/etc/salt/minion

5. Enable the salt-minion, initially by running the command:

svcadm restart svc:system/manifest-import:default

6. The salt-minion can be enabled and disabled by the following commands:

svcadm disable salt-minion

Usage on Solaris 11
------------
Wrapper scripts are provided to access the Salt command-line interfaces. These
wrapper scripts execute with environmental variable overrides for library and
python paths. These wrapper scripts are provided in /usr/bin, which is typically
included in the environmental variable PATH.

The following wrapper scripts are available:

  salt-ssh
  salt-proxy
  salt-minion


Note: with this release only salt-minion functionality is provided

Salt command line functionality is available through the use of
these wrapper scripts. For example, to start the salt-minion as a daemon:

svcadm enable salt-minion
