You know... There must be some Software tool like Notepad, Wordpad or Microsoft Word..

How about Atos?

Or Notepad++ Maybe..

My core learning is not with ansible. I just want to run some Playbooks...(On CentOS 7) to install Asterisk on the same and Mastering the Asterisk tool...

With Hope,

Prabhakaran

Any text editor will work, but don't use a word-processor. You need to generate plain ascii files.

If you can afford the slight learning curve, see if you can find a programming editor you like. Visual Studio Code is free, multi-platform and excellent, but there are plenty of others that will understand YAML, do syntax highlighting and help you get the indentation right and avoid silly syntactical mistakes.

Me - I use vi :-)

But this list is for help with ansible issues. If you want to avoid
learning anything about it, then use playbooks/roles/code that are
confirmed to work out of the box. In that case this support list is
less useful for you.

Picking an editor is a personal preference. See
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/other_tools_and_programs.html

Keep in mind that there is no requirement to use ansible. Asterisk
will work fine without it.
