I trying to get the master to install software on the minion but it doesn't seem like its working. When I try a debug it looks like the problem is the following:
[DEBUG ] Missing configuration file: /root/.saltrc
Not sure how to go about fixing it. For more information my salt master version is 2015.5.10 (lithium) and my minion version is 2015.5.1. Also the complete debug log is:
[DEBUG ] Reading configuration from /etc/salt/master

Any help would be greatly appreciated since I'm new to this :)
Command used was:
sudo salt '<minion>' pkg.install 'chrome'
In case of windows you need to include some magic for this to work properly. Did you followed the instructions written here? A short summary of the docs content
# prepare your master to know about the win repos
salt-run winrepo.update_git_repos
# tell all connected windows minions to refresh
salt -G 'os:windows' pkg.refresh_db
# list available packages
salt -G 'os:windows' pkg.list_pkgs
# ask your minion for known chrome versions
salt '<minion id>' pkg.available_version chrome
# and finally install it; use version=x.x.x in case of a specific one.
salt '<minion id>' pkg.install 'chrome'
