How to install Ansible in RHEL 6.8

Ansible Installation:
-          
  •     Epel-release repositry has to be downloaded and installed
  •         Using rpm package or yum
  •        Check wether epel has been in the list of repolist
  •       We are going to install ansible package on control node 






   
      Control node requirements:
  •            It should be RHEL 6 and above
  •          Linux or any other BSD based Unix system
  •           Control node must have Python 2.6 or 2.7 installed.
  •           Windows not supported


      Managed host requirements:

  •           Ssh connection should be established
  •           Must have python 2.4 and later installed.
  •          Python-simple.json package must also be installed on RHEL 5.0 managed host.













Ansible will be ready to use . You can check ansible installation by the following command:
            "ansible --version"
      
      Now you take some managed hosts(windows or linux machines) and start playing on that machine by running different ansible playbooks for configuration management.
