Hey builder, it’s time to deploy! 👋
Here’s a quick overview of this deploying tool. Follow along to get your environment up and running.
Once you’re done, start with this tutorial to setup your server in 5 minutes. Let’s deploy that product, FAST ⚡️
Install Ansible Locally
Ansible is an open-source automation platform used to streamline IT tasks, manage infrastructure, and automate workflows across various systems and environments.
Mac OS
To install Ansible on a Mac, you can use Homebrew. First, ensure you have Homebrew installed. If not, you can install it by running the following command in your terminal:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
Once Homebrew is installed, you can install Ansible by running:
brew install ansible
Linux
On Linux systems, you can typically install Ansible using the package manager specific to your distribution.
For example, on Ubuntu or Debian-based systems, you can use apt:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ansible
On CentOS or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), you can use yum:
sudo yum install ansible
Windows
On Windows, Ansible can be installed via the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) or by using a third-party tool like Cygwin.
For WSL installation, you can follow the official Microsoft documentation on how to set up WSL. After having installed WSL, you can install Ansible through apt similar to Linux users.
Once Ansible is installed, you can verify the installation by running:
ansible --version
This command should display the installed Ansible version.
Watch out for the version
Make sure you’re using version 2.1 or higher. Older versions haven’t been tested and might not work.
