Ansible is an open-source automation platform for managing and configuring software applications. It can simplify system administration tasks such as deployment, configuration management, and orchestration. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Ansible on Linux Mint Latest.
Before installing any new packages, it is always recommended to update the system with the latest available packages. You can perform this task by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Ansible requires some dependencies to be installed on the system before installation. To install the required dependencies, use the following command in the terminal.
sudo apt install software-properties-common apt-transport-https curl
Ansible is not available in the official repository of Linux Mint. So, we will add the Ansible PPA repository to install the latest version of Ansible. To add the repository, use the following command in the terminal.
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ansible/ansible
After adding the Ansible PPA repository, update the system with the latest package information.
sudo apt update
Now, use the following command to install Ansible.
sudo apt install ansible
Once the installation is complete, you can verify the installation by running the following command.
ansible --version
This command will show you the version of Ansible installed on your system.
That’s it! You have successfully installed Ansible on your Linux Mint Latest system. You can now use Ansible to manage your applications and automate your system administration tasks. If you encounter any issues, feel free to check the Ansible documentation for further guidance.
