Installing via pip

You can install Ansible via pip. If you don't have pip installed on your system, install it. You can use pip to install Ansible on Windows too, using the following command line:

    $ sudo easy_install pip

You can now install Ansible using pip, as follows:

    $ sudo pip install ansible

Once you're done installing Ansible, run ansible --version to verify that it has been installed:

    $ ansible --version
