Installing Ansible from source

In case the previous methods do not fit your use case, you can install Ansible directly from source. Installing from source does not require any root permissions. Let's clone a repository and activate virtualenv, which is an isolated environment in Python where you can install packages without interfering with the system's Python packages. The command and the resulting output for the repository are as follows:

    $ git clone git://github.com/ansible/ansible.git
    Cloning into 'ansible'...

    remote: Compressing objects: 100% (18/18), done.

    PYTHONPATH=/home/vagrant/ansible/lib:
    MANPATH=/home/vagrant/ansible/docs/man:
    Remember, you may wish to specify your host file with -i
    Done!

Ansible needs a couple of Python packages, which you can install using pip. If you don't have pip installed on your system, install it using the following command. If you don't have easy_install installed, you can install it using Python's setuptools package on Red Hat systems, or by using Brew on the macOS:

    $ sudo easy_install pip
    <A long output follows>

Once you have installed pip, install the paramiko, PyYAML, jinja2, and httplib2 packages using the following command lines:

    $ sudo pip install paramiko PyYAML jinja2 httplib2
    Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): paramiko in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
    Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): PyYAML in /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages
    Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): jinja2 in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
    Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): httplib2 in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages

By default, Ansible will be running against the development branch. You might want to check out the latest stable branch. Check what the latest stable version is using the following $ git branch -a command.

Copy the latest version you want to use.

Version 2.0.2 was the latest version available at the time of writing. Check the latest version using the following command lines:

    [node ansible]$ git checkout v2.7.1
    Note: checking out 'v2.0.2'.
    [node ansible]$ ansible --version
    ansible 2.7.1 (v2.7.1 c963ef1dfb) last updated 2018/10/25 20:12:52 (GMT +000)

You now have a working setup of Ansible ready. One of the benefits of running Ansible from source is that you can enjoy the new features immediately, without waiting for your package manager to make them available for you.
