Installing Ansible on Ubuntu 18 on AWS
Ansible is an Open Source DevOps engine for systems configuration. Here is the process for installing Ansible on Ubuntu 18 for AWS.
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ansible/ansible
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ansible
sudo apt install python-pip
pip install boto3 --user
pip install boto --user
Note: The commands pip install boto3 –user / pip install boto –user - you only need one of these. Use boto3 if your Ansible installation is using python3 and boto if your Ansible is using python 2.x.
As with a bunch of my shorter blog posts around installing software, this one is because I needed to install Ansible on a server for work and I figured that documenting it was likely useful (this is now the second time I've had to do it for this job and there will undoubtedly be a third).
