Installing Ansible on MacOS
Ansible is a fantastic tool to automate remote host provisioning. It has modules to solve almost every task you can imagine when setting up a fresh new server.
To begin, you need to have Python 3 and Pip installed on your computer. To verify that everything is in order, you can use the command to display the Pip version:
$ python3 -m pip -V
pip 21.0.1 from /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip (python 3.9)
If everything is working fine, let’s install Ansible now.
$ pip install ansible
You should see the result similar to this one
And a quick verification that it works correctly:
$ ansible --version
Now you’re ready to go and have fun with Ansible :)
