Hi Guys,

I am trying to install ansible in my Linux system, but it is showing me the below error.

[root@localhost ~]# yum install ansible

Hi@akhtar,

Ansible is not part of your RedHat DVD. It is a part of the python package. You need to install Ansible using the pip3 command as shown below.

[root@localhost ~]# pip3 install ansible
WARNING: Running pip install with root privileges is generally not a good idea. Try `pip3 install --user` instead.
