how to install tagged release

[Torsten Reinhard]

Hi all,

for weeks we´ve been successfully using Ansible 1.6.6 - now we got an update due to our current setup based just on "yum install ansible", so we have version 1.7-1.el6.

After this update I ran into some problems, Ansible hangs when invoking an "install.sh" in our playbook - without any further details.
Switching back to 1.6.6 solved the problem.

How can I install 1.6.6 ? At http://docs.ansible.com/intro_installation.html there are several ways to install the latest release - but no way to install a tagged release.
Only downloading and unpacking the *.tar.gz isnt enough.

cd /tmp
wget http://releases.ansible.com/ansible/ansible-1.6.6.tar.gz
tar -xvf ansible-1.6.6.tar.gz
cd ansible-1.6.6
python setup.py install

Could someone provide the instructions to a "tagged release installation" please?

Thanx, Torsten

Hi,

with `pip` you can install any version of python package you want

in you case it will be

pip install ansible=='1.6.6'

I would recommend you to use requirements.txt to pin certain version
of python packages
