I need to install the paramiko module of python on multiple machines using the salt stack.
I looked at the documentation about how to do this, but was not able to understand the syntax.
Can someone please explain me line-by-line what happens in the following snippet:
python-pip: pkg.installed virtualenvwrapper: pip.installed: - require: - pkg: python-pip Also, can you add an example snippet for a recipe installing multiple python modules via pip using salt?
python-pip: # The name of the package this state installs, this must be unique in your salt states pkg.installed # The state (pkg) and action (installed) virtualenvwrapper: # The name of the package pip.installed: # The state (pip) and action (installed) - require: # Require means only install this if the following is already installed - pkg: python-pip # pkg python-pip which is mentioned earlier Another way to write the first part:
instaled python pip: pkg.installed: - name: python-pip If you wanted to install multiple packages:
installed python pip, paramiko and complete: pkg.installed: - pkgs: - python-pip - python-complete - python-paramiko Alternatively, paramiko is in pip:
paramiko: pip.installed Also, to install multiple things from pip:
install lots from pip: pip.installed: - names: - paramiko - boto3 - pycurl Remember, the docs are your friend, but they are not exhaustive, #salt on freenode irc is also a great place to ask.
First first block is installing the package python-pip via your distro's package manager like yum or apt-get
The second block is install virtualenvwrapper via pip like pip install virtualenvwrapper but its also saying in order to run that command you need to have the package python-pip installed
