How to install Ansible?

The most effective way to install Ansible for Ubuntu is to add the project's personal package archive (PPA) to your system. For this, you have to install the software properties common package. This will ensure that you can work with PPA easily. On older versions, this package was called as python software properties. Once the package has been installed, type the following command to add the Ansible PPA.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ansible/ansible

Press enter for PPA addition. Once done, refresh the package to see available PPA packages and you can install the software.

sudo apt-get install ansible
sudo apt-get update

We have the software required to administer our servers through Ansible.
