+# Salt Provisioner
+
+Type: `salt`
+
+The salt provisioner provisions machines built by Packer using [Salt](http://saltstack.com/) states.
+
+## Basic Example
+
+The example below is fully functional.
+
+<pre class="prettyprint">
+{
+    "type": "salt",
+    "bootstrap_args": "git v0.14.0"
+}
+</pre>
+
+## Configuration Reference
+
+The reference of available configuration options is listed below:
+
+* `skip_bootstrap` (boolean) - By default Packer runs [salt bootstrap](https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap) to install salt. Set this to true to skip this step.
+
+* `boostrap_args` (string) -
+  Arguments to send to the bootstrap script. Usage is somewhat documented on [github](https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap), but the [script itself](https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap/blob/develop/bootstrap-salt.sh) has more detailed usage instructions. Default is no arguments.
