Support for installing Ansible on Windows

[John Thompson]

Hi,

I have done some searching but can't see if there is any update on supporting the installation of Ansible on Windows? I'd be interested to know if there are any plans?

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/windows_faq.html#can-ansible-run-on-windows

Also, as the FAQ gives the only option as WSL, but states this isn't supported by Ansible are there plans to support WSL at least in the future?

Thanks.

John

someone else can answer  officially but, as far as I know there is no plan to support installing ansible on windows.

Thanks for the reply Jonathan. Much appreciated. 

Is there an official answer out there publicly, or someone who can confirm in the product group?

No plans, it will work but in the odd case it doesn’t you won’t get any help from GitHub unless you ca replicate it on an actual Linux platform.

I use ansible from WSL most days and it works just fine for me. Unless you are calling stuff which attempts to use a system call that hasn't been implemented in WSL translation layer it will be fine.

The above shouldn't be an issue with WSL 2 but I haven't tried that myself.

That said I use Linux vms for production and have no plans to change that. But it is fine for developing playbooks and roles.
