Lab: Installing Ansible on Your Machine

Overview

In this lab, you will learn how to install Ansible on your designated machine (ansible-machine).

Duration

Estimated Time: 20 minutes

Step 1: Log In to the Ansible Machine

  1. Open Google Chrome on your computer.
  2. Navigate to the <Ansible Lab> link provided by your instructor. We’ll refer to it as ansible-machine.
  3. Click on the option labeled Secure Access via HTTPS (Recommended).
  4. Enter the provided password to log in and access the desktop environment.
  5. Open a terminal window.

Step 2: Verify Ansible Installation

  1. In the terminal, check if Ansible is already installed by running the following command:
ansible --version
  1. If Ansible is not installed, you will see a response indicating that the command is not recognized.

Step 3: Install Ansible

  1. Update the system packages:
sudo apt-get update
  1. Install the required dependencies:
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
  1. Add the Ansible repository:
sudo apt-add-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible
  1. Install Ansible:
sudo apt-get install ansible
  1. Verify the installation by checking the Ansible version:
ansible --version

You should see output similar to the following:

ansible 2.12.7
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/home/ubuntu/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.8.10 (default, Jun  2 2021, 10:49:15) [GCC 9.4.0]

Note: The version number and Python version may vary depending on your system.

Step 4: Install nano

To keep commands as simple as possible, we'll use nano

$ sudo apt-get install nano -y

Conclusion

Congratulations! 🎉 You have successfully installed Ansible on your ansible-machine.
