Downloads & Getting Started
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
How to download ansible and get started using it
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
````````````
|
|
|
|
Requirements for Ansible are extremely minimal.
|
|
|
|
If you are running python 2.6 on the **overlord** machine (the machine
|
|
that you'll be talking to the other machines from), you will need:
|
|
|
|
* ``paramiko``
|
|
* ``PyYAML``
|
|
* ``python-jinja2`` (for playbooks)
|
|
|
|
If you are running less than Python 2.6, you will also need:
|
|
|
|
* The Python 2.4 or 2.5 backport of the ``multiprocessing`` module
|
|
|
|
- `Installation and Testing Instructions <http://code.google.com/p/python-multiprocessing/wiki/Install>`_
|
|
|
|
* ``simplejson``
|
|
|
|
On the managed nodes, to use templating, you will need:
|
|
|
|
* ``python-jinja2`` (you can install this with ansible)
|
|
|
|
Developer Requirements
|
|
``````````````````````
|
|
|
|
For developers, you may wish to have:
|
|
|
|
* ``asciidoc`` (for rebuilding manpage files)
|
|
* ``python-sphinx`` (for rebuilding content for the ansible.github.com docs project only)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Getting Ansible
|
|
```````````````
|
|
|
|
Tagged releases are available as tar.gz files from the Ansible github
|
|
project page:
|
|
|
|
* `Ansible/downloads <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/downloads>`_
|
|
|
|
As the project is still pretty new, you will probably just want to clone
|
|
the git checkout instead, so you can keep up with all of the latest features,
|
|
and also contribute easily back to the project (if you want).
|
|
Instructions for installing from source are below.
|
|
|
|
You may also wish to follow the `Github project <https://github.com/ansible/>`_ if
|
|
you have a github account. This is also where we keep the issue tracker for sharing
|
|
bugs or feature ideas.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make Install
|
|
++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
You can install Ansible using "make install". This is done through python distutils::
|
|
|
|
$ git clone git://github.com/ansible/ansible.git
|
|
$ cd ./ansible
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
Via RPM
|
|
+++++++
|
|
|
|
In the near future, pre-built RPMs will be available through your
|
|
distribution. Until that time you can use the ``make rpm`` command::
|
|
|
|
$ git clone git://github.com/ansible/ansible.git
|
|
$ cd ./ansible
|
|
$ make rpm
|
|
$ sudo rpm -Uvh ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/ansible-*.noarch.rpm
|
|
|
|
If you are tracking the upstream source (i.e. git), the RPM revision may not be
|
|
bumped with every source code change. To get around this, you can use
|
|
rpm `-Uvh` with `--force` when RPM tells you the package is still at the
|
|
same version.
|
|
|
|
Your first commands
|
|
```````````````````
|
|
|
|
Edit (or create) /etc/ansible/hosts and put one or more remote systems in it, for
|
|
which you have your SSH key in ``authorized_keys``::
|
|
|
|
192.168.1.50
|
|
aserver.example.org
|
|
bserver.example.org
|
|
|
|
Set up SSH agent to avoid retyping passwords::
|
|
|
|
ssh-agent bash
|
|
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
|
|
|
|
Now ping all your nodes::
|
|
|
|
ansible all -m ping
|
|
|
|
Now run a live command on all of your nodes::
|
|
|
|
ansible all -a "/bin/echo hello"
|
|
|
|
Congratulations. You've just contacted your nodes with Ansible. It's
|
|
now time to read some of the more real-world :doc:`examples`, and explore
|
|
what you can do with different modules, as well as the Ansible
|
|
:doc:`playbooks` language. Ansible is not just about running commands, but
|
|
you already have a working infrastructure!
