It is simple to set up and use, making it a preferred choice for many system administrators. This guide will walk you through the steps to install Ansible on an AlmaLinux 8.10 system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prerequisites<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting, ensure you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A running <a href=\"https:\/\/brightwhiz.com\/tag\/almalinux\">AlmaLinux<\/a> 8.10 system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A user account with sudo privileges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Internet connectivity to download necessary packages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Update Your System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin by updating your system to ensure all existing packages are up to date. This helps prevent any compatibility issues during the installation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo dnf update -y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Install EPEL Repository<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ansible is available in the EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository. Install the EPEL repository to gain access to Ansible packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo dnf install epel-release -y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Install Ansible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the EPEL repository enabled, you can now install Ansible using the <code>dnf<\/code> package manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo dnf install ansible -y<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Verify the Installation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After the installation is complete, verify that Ansible is installed correctly by checking its version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ ansible --version<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should see output similar to this, indicating the installed version of Ansible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">ansible 2.9.27\n  config file = \/etc\/ansible\/ansible.cfg\n  configured module search path = [&#039;\/usr\/share\/ansible\/plugins\/modules&#039;]\n  ansible python module location = \/usr\/lib\/python3.6\/site-packages\/ansible\n  executable location = \/usr\/bin\/ansible\n  python version = 3.6.8 (default, Jun 11 2019, 15:15:01) [GCC 8.3.1 20190507 (Red Hat 8.3.1-4)]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Configure Ansible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ansible\u2019s configuration file is located at <code>\/etc\/ansible\/ansible.cfg<\/code>. While the default configuration is sufficient for many users, you may want to tweak it to suit your specific needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the configuration file with a text editor, such as <code>nano<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo nano \/etc\/ansible\/ansible.cfg<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Make any necessary changes, then save and exit the text editor. Common configurations include setting the default inventory file and enabling logging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Create an Inventory File<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ansible uses an inventory file to manage and define the hosts it will manage. Create a simple inventory file to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ sudo nano \/etc\/ansible\/hosts<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Add the IP addresses or domain names of the hosts you want to manage. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-ini\">[webservers]\n192.168.1.100\n192.168.1.101\n\n[dbservers]\n192.168.1.102<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Save and exit the text editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 7: Test Your Setup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure that Ansible can communicate with your managed hosts, run a simple ping test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-bash\">$ ansible all -m ping<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should see output indicating that Ansible successfully reached the specified hosts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-javascript\">192.168.1.100 | SUCCESS =&gt; {\n    &quot;changed&quot;: false,\n    &quot;ping&quot;: &quot;pong&quot;\n}\n192.168.1.101 | SUCCESS =&gt; {\n    &quot;changed&quot;: false,\n    &quot;ping&quot;: &quot;pong&quot;\n}\n192.168.1.102 | SUCCESS =&gt; {\n    &quot;changed&quot;: false,\n    &quot;ping&quot;: &quot;pong&quot;\n}<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You have successfully installed and configured Ansible on your AlmaLinux 8.10 system. Ansible is now ready to help you automate your IT tasks, from managing configurations to deploying applications.
