# Ansible
First things first, install ansible
Review the installAnsible.sh for quick setup.
```bash
sudo apt-get install ansible
```
Make sure you run the commands out of this folder so things work as desired.
## Configuration
[doc](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html#ansible-configuration-settings-locations)
The configuration file
Changes can be made and used in a configuration file which will be searched for in the following order:
ANSIBLE_CONFIG (environment variable if set)
ansible.cfg (in the current directory)
~/.ansible.cfg (in the home directory)
/etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
I have a basic configuration file in place at the root of this folder for anisble to find.
## Inventory
The default location for inventory should be placed in /etc/ansible/hosts. But you can always overwrite what inventory file is used with the -i flag
I have a template file in place that should only be used as a refrence. Make a copy of that file and name it hosts then update that file.
## Testing Inventory
## Cheat Sheet
Quick notes for ansible via cmd
### Testing Linux devices
```bash
ansible -i \inb
```
ansible linux -i hosts -m ping
```
### Testing Windows devices
```bash
ansible windows -i hosts -m win_ping
```
