Ansible is an open-source tool that simplifies the management of IT infrastructure. It automates tasks such as configuration management, application deployment, and orchestration. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Ansible on Void Linux.
Before installing Ansible, ensure that the system is up-to-date. Open a terminal and run the following command to update the system:
sudo xbps-install -Syu
Ansible is written in Python, so the first step is to install Python if not already installed. Run the following command in the terminal to install Python:
sudo xbps-install python
Now that Python is installed, we can proceed with the installation of Ansible. Run the following command to install Ansible:
sudo xbps-install ansible
This command will download Ansible and its dependencies, and install them on your system.
After the installation process is complete, you can verify that Ansible is installed by running the following command:
ansible --version
This command will output the installed version of Ansible and its dependencies.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Ansible on your Void Linux system. You can now use Ansible to automate various IT infrastructure management tasks.
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!
