# Install Salt Cloud

Salt Cloud is now part of Salt proper. It was merged in as of Salt version 2014.1.0.

On Ubuntu, install Salt Cloud by using following command:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:saltstack/salt
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install salt-cloud

If using Salt Cloud on macOS, `curl-ca-bundle` must be installed. Presently, this package is not available via `brew`, but it is available using MacPorts:

    sudo port install curl-ca-bundle

Salt Cloud depends on `apache-libcloud`. Libcloud can be installed via pip with `pip install apache-libcloud`.

## Installing Salt Cloud for development

Installing Salt for development enables Salt Cloud development as well, just make sure `apache-libcloud` is installed as per above paragraph.
