Installing Ansible from source

Installing Ansible from source is the best way to make sure that you have all the latest features and bug fixes. Fortunately, it’s nice and easy to do too.
First, make sure you have any dependencies installed:

sudo yum install python-2.7 gcc-c++ python-setuptools python-devel python-yaml python-paramiko python-jinja2 python-httplib2

Next, download the code:

wget http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-latest.tar.gz

Then we want to install it:

cd ansible-latest && make && sudo make install

Now, Ansible should be installed

which ansible 
=> /usr/local/bin/ansible

[root@localhost ansible-1.9.2]# ansible --version
ansible 1.9.2 

Test command:

# echo "127.0.0.1" > /tmp/ansible_hosts

# ansible all -m ping --ask-pass -i /tmp/ansible_hosts

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
yes
127.0.0.1 | success >> {
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
} 

 

Install Pip:

# sudo easy_install pip
