I want a Raspberry Pi just to install salt on it. 😄

Now you can using the bootstrap script too!

No, that does not work for me. Tried and failed, see by yourself (below). Operating system is Raspbian 2013/05.

Update: I was able to install salt with pip on my Raspberry Pi. I had to install some of the dependencies manually however:

# sudo apt-get install python-pip ; sudo apt-get install python-m2crypto ; sudo apt-get install swig ; sudo apt-get install python-dev ; pip install salt ;
