Hello,

Can anyone tell me how do I upgrade Ansible v2.9.10 to 2.9.11 or 2.9.12 on RHEL 8?

System is not connected to any subscription manager or repo. I use local repo. I cannot use PIP either.

I downloaded ansible-2.9.11-1.el8.noarch.rpm but now need help on how to upgrade to this version. Where do i download 2.9.12 now that it's released (rpm)?

Thanks

Jay

Ansible is a python module so you could install via pip like Rick showed. I am sure there are also rpm repos but last I checked

I didnt see any specific for EL8.

Negelected one point. Pip upgrade is 

pip install --upgrade ansible==2.9.12

If you are ever unsure of what versions you could get, just stop after the ==.  Pip will give an error message then list all possible versions.

Clearly I've over multi-tasked.

You want to install but don't have access to anything other than the RPM but you do have a local repo.

You could either add the rpm to the local repo and dnf install using that repo or use `dnf install ansible-2.9.11-1.el8.noarch.rpm`. Dnf will report that you are removing the old version and updating to the new just like if you were loading from a repo.
