Installing Ansible on ubuntu (AWS EC2 instance ami-0a91cd140a1fc148a)

We are using PIP3 for the installation process

Since our preferred os for the tutorial is Ubuntu we need to run the below commands anyway

# sudo -i   - to escalate the root user

# apt update   - we will get the details for all updated packages

# apt install python3-pip  - We are using the pip3 version comes with python3

# pip3 --version  - To check the installed version of pip we can use the below-mentioned command
pip 20.0.2 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip (python 3.8)

# pip3 install ansible  - Now let's install Ansible Using pip3

# ansible --version  - To check the installed version of Ansible we can use the below mentioned command

ansible 2.10.3
  config file = None
  configured module search path = ['/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.8.5 (default, Jul 28 2020, 12:59:40) [GCC 9.3.0]
