Installing Ansible from source?

[O haya]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Ansible from source, following this page:

However, I get to this step:

 
 
 

[root@centos65 ansible]#   source ./hacking/env-setup   Ansible now needs   setuptools in order to build. Install it using your package manager (usually   python-setuptools) or via pip (pip install setuptools).       Setting up Ansible to run   out of checkout...       PATH=/root/ansible/bin:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin   PYTHONPATH=/root/ansible/lib:   MANPATH=/root/ansible/docs/man:       Remember, you may wish to   specify your host file with -i       Done!

and I'm not quite sure what to do after that.

I've tried various different things, like just do yum install python-setuptools, etc. but I think I'm always not ending up with a good Ansible installation.

I'm currently like that, but when I try run win_ping I am getting:

[root@centos65 ansible]# ansible windows -i host -m win_ping

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: NameError: name 'AnsibleError' is not defined

ansible1.enclave2.whatever.com | FAILED! => {

    "failed": true,

    "stdout": ""

}

[root@centos65 ansible]#

and:

[root@centos65 ansible]# ansible windows -i host -m win_ping -vvvv

No config file found; using defaults

Loaded callback minimal of type stdout, v2.0

An exception occurred during task execution. The full traceback is:

Traceback (most recent call last):

}

[root@centos65 ansible]#

So can anyone tell me the correct way to install this from source?

Thanks,

Jim

I'm not sure exactly how I did it, but I seemed to have gotten a good installation.  At one point, it was weird and seemed to have blown away all of the paths to "ansible" (i.e., so I couldn't run "ansible").  I did make and make install in the Ansible dir and then that seemed to have fixed things up??
