Install Ansible
⚙️ Install Ansible (v4.10.0) Using pip3 | Linux Level-2 Series | Lab 8
Welcome to Lab 8 of the Linux Level-2 Series! In this hands-on lab, you’ll learn how to install Ansible, one of the most popular automation and configuration management tools used in DevOps.
During their weekly meeting, the Nautilus DevOps team decided to adopt Ansible due to its simplicity and agentless architecture. To begin testing automation workflows, they will use the Jump Host as the Ansible controller.
📌 Lab Objective:
Install Ansible version 4.10.0 on the Jump Host using pip3 and ensure it is accessible globally for all users.
🛠️ Task Requirements:
Install Ansible v4.10.0 using pip3 only
Ensure the Ansible binary is available system-wide
All users should be able to run Ansible commands
💻 Step-by-Step Commands:
Install pip3 if not already installed
sudo yum install -y python3-pip
or (Ubuntu/Debian):
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python3-pip
Install Ansible version 4.10.0 globally
sudo pip3 install ansible==4.10.0
Verify installation
ansible --version
✅ Expected Outcome:
Ansible version 4.10.0 is installed
ansible command works for all users
Jump Host is ready as an Ansible controller
