Install the Salt Example Formula

This section provides guidance on installing and using SUSE-provided Salt formulas.

Procedure: Installing the Locale Formula

Install the locale formula with:
```
zypper install locale-formula
```
This installs the package contents to /usr/share/susemanager/formulas/{metadata,states}
After installing the RPM, log in to the SUSE Manager Web UI.
Browse to the Main Menu System Details page of any client you would like to apply the formula to.
On the Main Menu System Details page you will see a new Formulas tab. Select it to view a list of installed formulas.
From the Formulas list select Formulas Locale and click Save.
A new tab will appear next to the Formula Locale subtab. Select the new Formulas Locale tab.
The Formalas Locale tab contains options for setting the language, keyboard layout, timezone, and whether hardware clock is set to UTC. Select the desired options and click Save.

Run the following command to verify pillar settings. The output has been truncated.

salt '$your_client' pillar.items

...
   keyboard_and_language:
       ----------
       keyboard_layout:
           English (US)
       language:
           English (US)
   machine_password:
       foobar
   mgr_server:
       manager_server
   mgr_origin_server:
       manager_server
   org_id:alt '$your_client_here'
       1
   timezone:
       ----------
       hardware_clock_set_to_utc:
           True
       name:

    ...

Apply this state to your client by applying the highstate from the command line with:
```
salt '$your_client' state.highstate
```
You can also apply the highstate from the previous formula tab from the SUSE Manager Web UI by selecting System Details States and clicking Apply Highstate.
