By default, Ansible uses Python 2 in order to maintain compatibility with older distributions
such as RHEL 6. However, some Linux distributions (Gentoo, Arch) may not have a
Python 2.X interpreter installed by default. On those systems, you should install one, and set
the 'ansible_python_interpreter' variable in inventory (see :ref:`inventory`) to point at your 2.X Python. Distributions
the ``ansible_python_interpreter`` variable in inventory (see :ref:`inventory`) to point at your 2.X Python. Distributions
like Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Fedora, and Ubuntu all have a 2.X interpreter installed
by default and this does not apply to those distributions. This is also true of nearly all
Unix systems.

.. note:: We've changed how the Ansible community packages are distributed.
For users of RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux version 7, the Ansible community RPM
package will transition from the EPEL repository to the Extras channel. There will be no
change for version 6 of RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux since Extras is not a part of version 6.
RPMs for RHEL 7 are available from the `Ansible Engine repository <https://access.redhat.com/articles/3174981>`_.
RPMs for RHEL7 are available from `the Extras channel <https://access.redhat.com/solutions/912213>`_.
To enable the Ansible Engine repository, run the following command:
RPMs for RHEL6 are available from yum for `EPEL
<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL>`_ 6 and currently supported
Fedora distributions.
.. code-block:: bash
Ansible will also have RPMs/YUM-repo available `here <https://releases.ansible.com/ansible/rpm>`_.
$ sudo subsription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-ansible-2.6-rpms
Ansible version 2.4 can manage earlier operating
systems that contain Python 2.6 or higher.
RPMs for currently supported versions of RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora are available from `EPEL <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL>`_ as well as `releases.ansible.com <https://releases.ansible.com/ansible/rpm>`_.
Ansible version 2.4 and later can manage earlier operating systems that contain Python 2.6 or higher.
You can also build an RPM yourself. From the root of a checkout or tarball, use the ``make rpm`` command to build an RPM you can distribute and install.
