Salt API scripts

This repository is for install salt-minion automatically, using salt-api, with a script.

To use these scripts, please follow this guide. Before run this scripts, check the host rm.smeup.com is reachable and on machine, the ports 22, 4505 and 4506 is opened.

When you run the script, it will check the MTU of the network interface and will warn you if it is greater than 1500.

In this version, the script is interactive, so you need to provide the minion id, username and password after launch the script, not at the end of the command!
