Ansible is an open-source automation and configuration management tool that simplifies the management of remote IT infrastructure. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Ansible on Kali Linux Latest.
Before starting with the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Before starting with the installation process, update and upgrade your system to ensure that all the required packages and dependencies are up-to-date.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Ansible requires some dependencies to work correctly. Install these dependencies using the following command:
sudo apt install -y python3-pip python3-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev
You can install Ansible from the default repository of Kali Linux using the following command:
sudo apt install -y ansible
After running this command, Ansible should be installed on your system.
You can verify the installation of Ansible by checking its version with the following command:
ansible --version
This command will display the version of Ansible installed on your system.
Before using Ansible, you need to configure Ansible hosts. Ansible hosts are remote servers that Ansible will manage. You can configure your Ansible hosts by editing the following file:
sudo nano /etc/ansible/hosts
This file will contain the IP addresses or hostnames of the servers that Ansible will manage. Once you make the necessary changes to this file, just save it and exit the text editor.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Ansible on Kali Linux Latest. After following this tutorial, you should have Ansible installed on your system and ready to use.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
