Ansible is a powerful automation and configuration management tool that can make system administrators' lives a lot easier by automating routine tasks. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Ansible on EndeavourOS, a rolling release distribution based on Arch Linux.
Before installing any software or package, it is always recommended to update the system to the latest available packages. In the terminal, run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
Ansible is available in the default EndeavourOS repositories. To install Ansible, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S ansible
This command will install Ansible and any dependencies required. After the installation is complete, verify by entering the following command:
ansible --version
The output should show the version of Ansible installed on your system.
By default, Ansible does not have a configuration file. To create one, we can copy the sample configuration file that is included in the package:
sudo cp /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg.bak
sudo nano /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
Update the configuration file with any desired settings using your preferred text editor.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Ansible on EndeavourOS. Ansible is a versatile and powerful tool that can help automate many routine and repetitive tasks. We hope you find this tutorial helpful!
