ansible Installation Installation on Amazon Linux from git repo
Example
Amazon Linux is a RHEL variant, so the Red Hat instructions should work for the most part. There is, however, at least one discrepancy.
There was an instance where the python27-devel package, as opposed to python-devel, was explicitly necessary.
Here, we will install from source.
sudo yum -y update
sudo yum -y install python27 python27-devel openssl-devel libffi-devel gcc git
git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible/<search the github for a preferable branch>
cd ansible
sudo python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
