How to install ansible on amazon aws linux

Question

I need to set up Ansible for my project, so how can I install it on Amazon AWS Linux?

Answer 1

To install Ansible on Amazon AWS Linux, here’s a quick step-by-step guide:

• First, update the system packages to ensure you have the latest versions.

      sudo yum update -y

• Enable the EPEL repository, which contains the Ansible package. Install it using:

      sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel -y

• Now, install Ansible directly from the EPEL repository:

      sudo yum install ansible -y

• Confirm Ansible is installed by checking the version:

      ansible --version

That’s it! Ansible should now be ready to use on your AWS Linux instance.
