Any bugs/issues should be filed with that community to update these instructions. Ansible maintains only the ``pip install`` instructions. + The ``ansible`` package can always be :ref:`installed from PyPI using pip <intro_installation_guide>` on most systems but it is also packaged and maintained by the community for a variety of Linux distributions. The following instructions will guide you through installing the ``ansible`` package with your preferred distribution's package manager. +.. note:: For maintainers who wish to add distributions to this guide, installation instructions are included here only for distributions with a reasonably up-to-date version of ``ansible``. The distribution MUST ensure that ``ansible-core`` and ``ansible`` versions are kept in sync to the extent that the distribution build system allows. Maintainers MUST include a way to contact them with their instructions here and are encouraged to join the `Ansible Packaging <https://matrix.to/#/#packaging:ansible.com>`_ Matrix room. + .. contents:: :local: -Installing Ansible on Fedora or CentOS --------------------------------------- +Installing Ansible on Fedora Linux +------------------------------------------------- -On Fedora: +To install the batteries included ``ansible`` package on Fedora run .. code-block:: bash $ sudo dnf install ansible -On CentOS: +If you prefer to install the minimal ``ansible-core`` package run + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ sudo dnf install ansible-core + +Several Ansible collections are also available from the Fedora repositories as +standalone packages that users can install alongside ``ansible-core``. +For example, to install the ``community.general`` collection run .. code-block:: bash - $ sudo yum install epel-release - $ sudo yum install ansible + $ sudo dnf install ansible-collection-community-general + +See the `Fedora Packages index <https://packages.fedoraproject.org/search?query=ansible-collection>`_ +for a full list of Ansible collections packaged in Fedora. + -RPMs for currently supported versions of CentOS are also available from `EPEL <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL>`_. +Please `file a bug <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi>`_ against the +``Fedora`` product in Red Hat Bugzilla to reach the package maintainers. + +Installing Ansible from EPEL +---------------------------------- + +Users of CentOS Stream, Almalinux, Rocky Linux, and related distributions +can install ``ansible`` or Ansible collections from the community maintained +`EPEL <https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/>`_ +(Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository. + +After `enabling the EPEL repository <https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/#_quickstart>`_, +users can use the same ``dnf`` commands as for Fedora Linux. + +Please `file a bug <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi>`_ against the +``Fedora EPEL`` product in Red Hat Bugzilla to reach the package maintainers. + + +Installing Ansible on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed/Leap +---------------------------------------------- + +.. code-block:: bash + $ sudo zypper install ansible + +See `OpenSUSE Support Portal <https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Support>` for additional help with Ansible on OpenSUSE. .. _from_apt: |
