# Ansible Role: Ansible
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/geerlingguy/ansible-role-ansible)
|
|
|
|
An Ansible Role that installs Ansible on Linux servers.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
If using on a RedHat/CentOS-based host, make sure you've added the EPEL repository (it can easily be installed by including the `geerlingguy.repo-epel` role on Ansible Galaxy).
|
|
|
|
## Role Variables
|
|
|
|
Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see `defaults/main.yml`):
|
|
|
|
ansible_install_method: package
|
|
|
|
Whether to install Ansible via the system `package` manager (`apt`, `yum`, `dnf`, etc.), or via `pip`. If set to `pip`, you need to make sure Pip is installed prior to running this role. You can use the `geerlingguy.pip` module to install Pip easily.
|
|
|
|
ansible_install_version_pip: ''
|
|
|
|
If `ansible_install_method` is set to `pip`, the specific Ansible version to be installed via Pip. If not set, the latest version of Ansible will be installed.
|
