    By default the bootstrap.sh scripts installs the stable version of SaltStack. Depending on your OS you can upgrade SaltStack using you package manager.

    For example on you salt-master (OS: Ubuntu) you might run the following commands:

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade salt-master

    On your salt-master you can get a list of what version of SaltStack your minsions are running:

    sudo salt '*' test.version

    To get a list of up-to-date minions and those that need updating, you can run the following command on your salt-master:

    sudo salt-run manage.versions

    You can use SaltStack to upgrade all of your salt-minions at once:

    sudo salt '*' pkg.install salt-minion refresh=True

    An alternative method would be to use the apt commands like this:

    sudo salt -G 'os:Ubuntu' cmd.run "apt-get -y install salt-minion"

    Verify that everything is upgraded by running sudo salt '*' test.version again.
