This is a package-based installation method. Start with the @provision.sh@ script which is available by cloning the @{{ branchname }}@ branch from "https://git.arvados.org/arvados.git":https://git.arvados.org/arvados.git . The @provision.sh@ script and its supporting files can be found in the "arvados/tools/salt-install":https://git.arvados.org/arvados.git/tree/refs/heads/{{ branchname }}:/tools/salt-install directory in the Arvados git repository.
<b>NOTE: The single host installation is not recommended for production use.</b>

To ease the installation of the various Arvados components, we have developed a "Saltstack":https://www.saltstack.com/ 's "arvados-formula":https://git.arvados.org/arvados-formula.git which can help you get an Arvados cluster up and running.
Saltstack is a Python-based, open-source software for event-driven IT automation, remote task execution, and configuration management. It can be used in a _master/minion_ setup (where a master node orchestrates and coordinates the configuration of nodes in an infrastructure) or <i>master-less</i>, where Saltstack is run locally in a node, with no communication with a master node.
